To Secure These Rights…
Batavia Depot Museum 2026 Spring Exhibit
March 1 – Aug. 9
In 1776, the Declaration of Independence established equality and the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as the standard for a free people and the highest American ideals. To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration, the Batavia Depot Museum’s spring exhibit examines Batavians who have bravely stepped up to defend the rights of not only themselves but their neighbors. Many expressions of this goal are explored from military service, to the fight for universal suffrage, to advocacy for the rights of all people.
