"The Doan Gang: Outlaws of the Revolution" Programs
The Mercer Museum’s exciting major exhibition, The Doan Gang: Outlaws of the Revolution, explores the history and intrigue of a group of Revolutionary War-era Loyalist outlaws who plotted, schemed, and plundered their way through a divided world in the earliest days of a budding American nation.
The Mercer Museum is thrilled to present a wide array of community programs related to the exhibition, including special behind-the-scenes tours, evenings of storytelling involving the Doans and Revolutionary Bucks County, and more!
