America 250: The Faces that Framed a Nation

We are proud to contribute to the Fredericksburg DAR’s America 250 celebration with a patriotic installation honoring the figures who shaped our nation.

Now hanging in the front of the gallery through July, this focused exhibition features a cabinet portrait of George Washington by Charles Willson Peale, one of the most significant painters of the Revolutionary era. Alongside it is the only portrait in American history painted during Thomas Jefferson’s lifetime depicting him holding the Declaration of Independence — a remarkable image of authorship and nationhood.

Also included is a portrait of Washington by Jane Stuart, daughter of Gilbert Stuart, and a striking painted silhouette by Augustus Day, highlighting the refinement of early American portrait traditions.

As we approach the 250th anniversary of America, we invite you to step inside and reflect on the leadership and legacy that shaped this great nation.

Every Friday is Poetry Night at Original Grinds, Fredericksburg’s Art focused Coffee shop and venue space. OGs is open until 9pm on First Friday.
