Opening of “Yearning to Breathe Free: An Immigration Journey”

10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Chapman. Free admission for all.

Join us for the opening of our new exhibition, Yearning to Breathe Free: An Immigration Journey! Our new exhibition explores the profound impact of immigration on both our region and the nation, while celebrating the resilience, determination, and enduring spirit of those who journeyed to a new world in search of a better life.

Celebrate with free admission all day, plus light refreshments, family crafts, colonial lawn games (weather permitting), and a special Storytime at 11:30 a.m. featuring Yearning to Breathe Free, the Chapman Museum’s newest book starring Zopher the Mouse.
