Backers say it will not only preserve and interpret important artifacts from the period, but will create more than 800 jobs, draw 725,000 history-minded visitors annually, and solidify the region's historic claim to be the cradle of American independence. "Our purpose is to reengage the American public in the history of the American Revolution and its relevance to today, because the American Revolution is still in progress," says Thomas M.
