History is chronicled here by the dramatization of land- and lake-based action during the Revolutionary War. The story of the Mount is told in exhibits featuring many of the artifacts recovered during archaeological investigations. Voices of the Revolution is a group sculpture of six Revolutionary War soldiers in the center of the museums gallery. The sculpture reveals garrison life through first-hand accounts. Two of the figures are equipped with videoholograms to talk to visitors about their war experiences. Two others hold journals that house touch-screen computers containing excerpts of journals, letters and military records.
