The West Virginia Humanities Council has partnered with the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the National Archives to provide a free, pop-up exhibit observing the 225^th anniversary of the Bill of Rights to 42 display sites across West Virginia. The exhibit, The Bill of Rights and You, was created by the National Archives and was delivered to each venue at no cost in early December.

The exhibit celebrates the 225^th anniversary of the Bill of Rights, which was observed December 15, 2016. The National Archives launched a national initiative to explore the power of the Bill of Rights and our enduring system of government. The exhibit presents key information about the Bill of Rights including its history, implementation, and impact today. The Humanities Council coordinated the effort to identify exhibit sites in West Virginia, and worked with the National Archives to insure each state venue that wanted to participate in the initiative would receive the exhibit. Each site also received digital educational and press materials from the National Archives.

People interested in viewing the exhibit should contact their local venue to confirm the specific display dates.
