CLINTON — A new exhibit on Hunterdon County residents during the American Revolutionary War will open Saturday at the Red Mill Museum Village.

Titled “A Community Divided,” the show explores deep divisions that existed among county residents during the period. The political positioning of patriots, loyalists and pacifists gain voices through the use of documents from the period written by local residents. The exhibit also features objects, paintings, drawings, maps and legal documents from the time.

The show will run through Sept. 28 at the museum located at 56 Main St. in Clinton. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. For more information, including admission costs, go to theredmill.org or call (908) 735-4101.
