The American Revolution museum in in Exeter, New Hampshire, is facing an uncertain future after laying off its entire staff and cancelling its fall programming as it works to develop a new strategic and operational plan. The museum’s board of governors hopes to re-open in the spring, but might not due to the museum’s financial troubles.

The museum's permanent collection of documents chronicling the nation's founding includes an original Dunlap broadside of the Declaration of Independence and early drafts of the U.S. Constitution.
