Welcome to another Tip Tuesday!
This week, we're heading over to the American Adventure pavilion at Epcot to visit a bit of a hidden treasure - the American Heritage Gallery. This small exhibit opened late September 2007 and reopened about a year ago after being closed for several months for an update. The updated exhibit features displays about some of America's most notable citizens including Thomas Edison, Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Beacher Stowe, Daniel Inouye and Frederick Douglass. There also are special displays about your "hosts" inside The American Adventure attraction, Ben Franklin and Mark Twain. The displays include original artifacts on loan to Epcot.
Here you see some items used by astronauts Gus Grissom and John Glenn.
It's important to take a few minutes to walk around the gallery to learn more about the real people, some of who you will meet in the attraction.
The gallery, along with the Voices of Liberty (which I'll discuss in a post very soon), is yet another reason why it's a good idea to head into the American Adventure pavilion even if the next showing of the attraction isn't soon. You'll be glad you did. You just might learn something too.
