The First Amendment protects the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to assemble, and freedom to petition. These five freedoms are foundational to our democratic society: when we live these freedoms, democracy thrives.
The First Amendment Museum, a relatively new, non-partisan, non-profit was created to promote the practice and understanding of the First Amendment by developing a landmark museum, innovative exhibits, and engaging programming that inspires visitors to value and exercise these freedoms daily.
Currently, the Museum is open for guided tours reserved in advance. These tours can be booked Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM and include a tour of the historic Guy Gannett home and our temporary exhibition focusing on the First Amendment. Tours are free, donations are welcome.
Please visit our website at www.firstamendmentmuseum.org to learn more about our mission, our past, and our future plans. There, you can book a guided tour and sign up for our e-newsletter to stay updated with our events, programs, and anything First Amendment related.
