Housing & Residence Life

Join us for a Two Lights for Tomorrow lighting ceremony at the Felts House. Two Lights for Tomorrow is a nationwide initiative to commence the celebration of America 250, the 250th birthday of the United States of America.

The famous ride of Paul Revere occurred overnight on April 18 – 19, 1775. Two Lights for Tomorrow originated out of multi-state collaboration at A Common Cause to All in Williamsburg and uses the imagery of that shining light 250 years ago as a uniting call to action today for our fellow citizens, no matter where they are, to commemorate and remind ourselves that our history is about working together for a better tomorrow.

At it’s heart it is a call across the country, in private homes, local communities, and statehouses alike, for two lights to be displayed to remind us all of the importance to come together to form a more perfect union.

The Museum is hosting a brief ceremony at the Felts House, next to the KY Building, with remarks, a proclamation and the ceremonial lighting of two lights. The Felts House is a fitting location for the ceremony as it was built by American Revolution veteran Archibald Felts.

Lights will remain on April 2-30th
