The Lloyd Smith Gallery

This gallery highlights the portion of the park's collection focusing on the significant bequest made by one of the park's founding fathers, Lloyd W. Smith. Smith was a life-long collector and antiquarian who amassed a collection of over 300,000 manuscripts and rare books. The gallery currently offers a selection of pamphlets from the Smith collection which chronicles the beginning of the Revolution through to independence and beyond to commemoration. Of note in this gallery is a first edition of Thomas Paine's Common Sense and The Rights of Man published as a single volume
