Immigration: An American Story

June 17 – August 9, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. daily

Free: 703-385-8414.

This traveling banner exhibition from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History presents documents, maps, and images to tell select stories of those who came to America, some by force and others by choice in search of a better future for themselves and later generations.  Over time, each wave of immigrants has left its own imprint on the United States. It’s important to remember where we all came from and how public attitudes and policies on immigration have changed throughout the country’s history.
