About the exhibition

As part of the Norfolk’s American Connections project, pupils from eight schools in Norfolk (including American base schools) researched and created this exhibition. Find out about some of the famous, and not-so-famous, people who link Norfolk and North America. Staff of the Norfolk Museums Service coordinated the project.

The exhibition that the children created is on six pull-up banners covering:

• Introduction to the exhibition
• Abraham Lincoln's ancestors
• Thomas Paine
• George Vancouver
• Victorian migrants to America
• The friendly invasion: American GIs in the Second World War
