The Founders Museum Is an Inspired Addition to the Launch of America 250 Celebrations

This Independence weekend is an ideal opportunity to explore the America 250 section on Whitehouse.gov. The White House, collaborating with Prager U, has introduced the “Founders Museum,” featuring videos with AI depictions of the key figures and revolutionaries who shaped our republic. Through animated biographies, these AI representations highlight each individual’s contributions to our nation’s founding and urge viewers to contemplate how liberty, secured through immense sacrifice, should be preserved and advanced.

In addition to renowned figures such as Thomas Jefferson, who penned the Declaration of Independence, John Adams, a lawyer and influential member of the Continental Congress, Benjamin Franklin, a notable publisher, inventor, and diplomat, and John Hancock, a merchant and president of the Continental Congress, the museum also sheds light on founders who have been less recognized in broader narratives.

One such individual is Francis Lewis, a businessman and one of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. His act of defiance against King George III came at a steep price. Loyalists destroyed his Long Island residence and imprisoned his wife, Elizabeth, who tragically passed away shortly after being released. The video quotes Lewis: “Freedom demands much of us. But what it gives in return is… everything.”

Also Richard Stockton, the “reluctant” revolutionary who was imprisoned in New York. Stockton’s challenge to us in the video is, “Let them who inherit this liberty remember: it is not forged in comfort, but in trial. It is not kept by ease, but by resolve.”

Or Oliver Wolcott, a lawman and a doctor. Wolcott witnessed the statue of King George III being toppled by Patriots in New York at Bowling Green. Wolcott took the remains of the statue home, and he and his family melted the lead into bullets for the war effort. “We took a symbol of tyranny, and turned it into ammunition for liberty,” the video intoned.

His challenge to us: “Even now, I believe: What we tear down must serve to build something better. Let your hands be ready–for labor and liberty both.”

Not to be forgotten are the women of the Revolution. Betsy Ross, the woman who stitched the first American flag, Martha Washington, and Abigail Adams, who remind us that, “The Revolution was not just fought on battlefields, it was endured in kitchens, cabins, and quiet prayers.”

AI Martha Washington challenged, “Freedom is not the burden of soldiers alone. It belongs to all of us. My duty is done. Yours is not. Carry it well. And if ever you wonder what one soul can do in great times, remember mine.”

These also include lesser mentioned women, like Marcy Otis Warren, and my personal favorite, Phyllis Wheatley.

The videos can be viewed individually, in their respective series (Founding Fathers, Ladies of the Revolution, Major Events, and Declaration of Independence Signers), or as a whole unit. The section also includes a learning option with downloadable biographies, portraits, and documents that allow one to create their own “Founders Museum.” 

It is a living, interactive, and dynamic rendering of America’s founding history that is being added to daily as we march toward July 4, 2026, and the celebration of America’s 250th birthday.
