Liberty alum Douglas Yaun, Class of 2003 and descendant of the Town of Liberty's first supervisor, Thomas Crary, has curated the "Liberty's 250" exhibit that recently opened at the Liberty Museum & Arts Center featuring Douglas's contributions to History News Magazine, Caribbean Journal and more. Dr. Patrick Sullivan visited the museum to review the exhibit and talk to Mr. Yaun more about the show, which displays events of the Revolutionary War in space and time from the Boston Massacre, to the Farewell Address declaring no kings and the Caribbean front home to Alexander Hamilton.
Besides highlighting perhaps the most important time period in American history, his goal is to showcase the importance of heritage tourism in the area and contribute further with a community campaign to apply the pursuit of Liberty to now.
As part of the exhibit, Mr. Yaun is collecting essays and pictures on the topic "What does Liberty mean to me?" Essays and photos can be sent to lifelibertyme250@gmail.com with the submitter’s name and zip code as the subject. The collected items from this region will be used in a future exhibit and as entries in the Sullivan County Democrat over the next seven years celebrating the 250th year of the Revolutionary War and the founding of the United States of America which culminates in the year 2033.
“Mr. Yaun’s efforts to showcase history and the impact on our area are extraordinary and deserve support,” Dr. Sullivan said. “I will be addressing his efforts with our federal representatives when I meet with them next month.” Donations to his "Pursuit of Liberty” effort may be made at https://givebutter.com/liberty-to-me-9mmlq. The "Liberty's 250" exhibit will be on display through September at the museum at 46 S Main St. For more information about the museum, visit https://www.libertymuseumandartscenter.org/

Performance of “Calle Allende”by Anatar M. Gagné
CALLE ALLENDE
Directed, Created & Designed by Anatar M. Gagne
Performed By Anatar M. Gagne & Madison J. Cripps
Shackled by restraints of reality, Frida finds herself unable to paint. In a moment of desperation, she re-discovers her life source- the other Frida. "Calle Allende" is inspired by an entry in Frida Kahlo’s Diary “The Two Fridas”. "Calle Allende", a puppet theatre production, brings to life Frida’s struggle to reconcile her broken self and dying inspiration. Frida’s pain has clouded her, but in a moment of clarity soon realizes that without her imagination, she will lose her lifeline.
For mature audiences. Themes of death, loss and miscarriages.
Tickets Required
Adults $20
Students $10
