Washington Crosses Delaware in Lawrence | Kansas City News
Description
A landmark 19th-century painting by Edward Hicks, “Washington Passing the Delaware,” is coming to Lawrence for a year-long exhibition starting April 2027, thanks to a partnership between the Watkins Museum of History and Art Bridges Foundation. Funded by Alice Walton, this centerpiece of the “Sharing Heritage Through Art” show will explore how Native, African, and Mexican American communities in Douglas County preserve their histories. The painting, depicting Washington’s surprise attack on Trenton, will be paired with local narratives like Quantrill’s Raid, offering a fresh, art-driven lens on regional heritage. New exhibits will rotate every two months, blending museum collections with community voices.
