What did you bring home from your travels? Learn what people have found important to save and preserve starting in the 1800s, and what is says about our national story.

In the 1800s Americans became increasingly interested in collecting souvenirs that physically connected them to important places, people and events in the emerging national story.

Fragments of a cherished quilt, medals crafted from copper taken from George Washington’s tomb, or bits of wood and stone collected on tourists’ journeys all tell us something about their collectors and what places and events they deemed historic.

Come explore these and more historic relics from the museum’s collection with museum staff on this free gallery tour.
