About the Exhibit On March 30, 2000, Middletown Thrall Library was notified by the American Library Association that its application was one of 40 nationwide selected to participate in the upcoming tour of The Great Experiment: George Washington and the American Republic. This exhibit is based on a major collection of original manuscripts, rare books, prints, engravings, and artifacts at the Huntington Library, San Marino, California. The Huntington Library and the ALA Public Programs Office organized the exhibit. Funding was provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Munger.
