The Freedom Truck, Freedom250’s mobile museum, is in Boise this week—and you’re invited to visit!

From June 8–10, the Freedom Truck will be parked at the headquarters of the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, at 5657 E. Warm Springs Ave., Boise, ID 83716, and open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., free of charge.

Inside this 18-wheeler, interactive museum, you can:
• Walk through immersive exhibits that tell the story of how 13 colonies fought for independence and forged a new nation;
• Explore interactive touchscreens and games that bring key battles, ideas, and turning points to life;
• Meet AI-powered “talking” portraits of the Founders and other figures from the Revolutionary era;
• Take the “Loyalist or Patriot?” quiz and digitally sign your name to the Declaration of Independence; and
• Spend time at a wall of American heroes that highlights the people who have defended and expanded our freedoms over 250 years.

Bring your family, neighbors, colleagues, or friend, and discover how the story of 1776 still calls each of us to serve, lead, and strengthen our communities.
