‘The Pen Is Mightier’ exhibition comes to Kanab; a free community event celebrating America’s 250th anniversary

In celebration of the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary, the Kanab Museum is proud to host “The Pen Is Mightier: Writing a Revolution,” a free traveling exhibition for visitors of all ages. This special event is on display from Septem­ber 30 to November 8.

The exhibition helps viewers explore the powerful tools of communication that sparked revolution and sustained the fight for independence. “The Pen Is Mightier” brings history to life through 20 curated panels, revealing how Revolutionary leaders harnessed printing presses, secret codes, and signals of sound, light, and music to in­spire action and ignite lasting change.

“This exhibition is a powerful reminder that communication can turn ideas into action,” says Nicole Handy, executive di­rector of America250 Utah. “The same can be said of our found­ers in their fight for democracy, which is what inspired this showcase of pivotal American moments - showing how messages became movements and sparked lasting change.”

“The Pen Is Might­ier,” an initiative of America250 Utah, is sponsored by the Larry H. & Gail Miller Fam­ily Foundation in con­junction with the Utah Arts & Museums Trav­eling Exhibition Pro­gram. The exhibition tours all 29 Utah coun­ties through Decem­ber 2026. America250 Utah is directed by the America250 Utah Commission, with sup­port from Utah Gov. Spencer J. Cox, Lt. Gov. Deidre Hender­son, and the Utah State Legislature.
