Independence Revisited: Sharon in 1776, 1876 & 1976

By examining Sharon through the lens of three pivotal milestones—1776, 1876, and 1976—the exhibition explores how broader national transformations informed the local experience. Independence Revisited begins with a study of 18th-century life and follows the town’s physical, social, and political trajectory, ultimately investigating how Sharon chose to commemorate, interpret, or overlook its revolutionary heritage during these defining moments in American history.
