Preview reception for newest exhibition: – Path to Liberty: Orders, Discipline and Daily Life

On November 13, 2025, at 6:30 PM, the Museum will host a preview reception for our newest exhibition in the Adeline Moses Loeb Gallery, Path to Liberty: Orders, Discipline and Daily Life. This exhibition includes orderly books that detail how officers used daily orders to train, manage, and discipline soldiers, turning ordinary colonists into a trained force capable of challenging the world’s most powerful army. Featured in the exhibition is the book used by Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge (best known for his leadership of the Culper Spy Ring during the American Revolutionary War) while stationed in New York in the summer of 1776. The exhibition opens to the public on November 14th. The reception, which will include wine, beer and hors d’oeuvres, will include brief remarks around 7:00 PM from special guests and the exhibition’s curators, who will be available to answer questions from attendees about the entire Path to Liberty series throughout the evening.
