SUMMARY:America at 250: Focus on George Washington
LOCATION:Michael T. Sillerman '68 Rotunda\, Rare and Manuscript Collection
 s\, 2B Carl A. Kroch Library\, Cornell University Ithaca\, NY 14853
DESCRIPTION:Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript C

  of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books\, letters\,

 resonant: collecting\, displaying\, and teaching with rare books\, autogr
 aphs\, signatures\, and portraits make history tangible and alive.\n\nhtt
