The American Independence Museum, which is housed in what served as the New Hampshire Treasury during the time of the American Revolution, consists of the Folsom Tavern and the eighteenth-century Ladd-Gilman House in downtown Exeter, New Hampshire. The permanent collection of the American Independence Museum features early drafts of the United States Constitution and an “original broadside of the Declaration of Independence.” Children in particular can find enjoyment with the hands-on exhibit at the Folsom Tavern, including trying on Colonial clothes, learning about Colonial games, and finding out how kids lived during the Colonial America era.
