On June 26th, 2017 the National Museum of American History hosted a religion symposium to highlight the new exhibition Religion in Early America. Tim Eriksen, Grammy-nominated shape-note singer, opened the symposium with a performance and interactive experience for the audience. Then our religion curator, Peter Manseau led a discussion with Stephen Prothero and Jenna Weissman Joselit about the importance of objects in studying American religious history. Captions to come!
