This Internet resource guide was created in support of The Great Experiment: George Washington and the American Republic, an exhibit featured at Middletown Thrall Library from February through March 2003.
The exhibit was organized by the Huntington Library in conjunction with the American Library Association. This exhibition is made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Additional support came from the Guilder-Lehrman Institute of American History and Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Munger. Financial support from The Friends of Middletown Thrall Library have helped make these public programs in support of the exhibit possible.
