“United We Stand, Divided We Fall” Opening Reception

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, which officially created the United States of America, this exhibit explores our country’s first motto as it has applied to the history of Orange County.

It examines the direct and indirect ways that people in Orange County have been connected and have created communities. It also acknowledges the ways that fear and the pursuit of personal interest created conflict and division.

This exhibit will be arranged thematically 

It will explore six areas that people today generally appreciate most about the county and how these threads have united and divided county residents:

Environment * Commerce * Service * Health * Learning * The Arts
