堪萨斯州北牛顿（North Newton）的考夫曼博物馆（Kauffman Museum）将于11月15日下午1时30分开幕巡展「宣言1776：现代民主的大爆炸」（Declaration 1776: The Big Bang of Modern Democracy）。该展由吉尔德·莱尔曼美国历史研究所（Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History）出品、经堪萨斯人文组织（Humanities Kansas）统筹，考夫曼博物馆是全州获选承办的47家文化机构之一。
伯特利学院发布称，展览以展板呈现一手史料，说明美国人及世界各地的人如何受《独立宣言》启发，追求平等与自决。堪萨斯版巡展另设「堪萨斯1776」单元，讲述250年前在日后成为堪萨斯州的土地上发生的事情。
堪萨斯人文组织原计划2026年在全州10处展出该展，以配合美国建国250周年，因需求远超预期增至近50处。本站是该展在堪萨斯中南部的唯一一站，此前曾在埃尔多拉多（El Dorado）与安多弗（Andover）展出。展览在考夫曼博物馆展至12月31日，11月15日当天博物馆免费开放。

"Declaration 1776" Traveling Exhibition Opens November 15 at Kauffman Museum in Kansas: One of 47 Host Sites Statewide, on View Through December 31
Kauffman Museum in North Newton, Kansas, opens the traveling exhibition "Declaration 1776: The Big Bang of Modern Democracy" on November 15 at 1:30 p.m. The exhibition comes from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History and is organized through Humanities Kansas. Kauffman Museum is one of 47 cultural organizations across the state chosen to host it.
According to Bethel College, the exhibition uses panels of primary sources to show how Americans and people across the world have been inspired by the Declaration of Independence in their pursuit of equality and self-determination. The Kansas version adds a section, "Kansas 1776," on what was happening 250 years ago on the land that would become Kansas.
Humanities Kansas originally planned 10 locations statewide during 2026, the 250th anniversary year of United States nationhood, and added almost 40 more when demand far exceeded expectations. This is the exhibition's only stop in south-central Kansas; regionally it has been shown in El Dorado and Andover. It remains at Kauffman Museum through December 31, and the museum is free on November 15.
At 3 p.m. on opening day, independent scholar and quilt researcher Sara Reimer Farley will present a program on quilters' stories across 250 years of American history. A "Declaration Conversation" follows on December 13 at 3 p.m., facilitated by Eric Anderson, a history professor at Haskell Indian Nations University and a member of the Potawatomi Nation.
Kauffman Museum's regular hours are Tuesday to Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday to Sunday, 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., closed Mondays and major holidays.
