Kampong Cham: In celebration of the 250th birthday of the United States, the U.S. Embassy Phnom Penh opened the Freedom 250 Founders Museum at the American Corner in Kampong Cham. The Founders Museum, a White House initiative, is an interactive educational exhibit that brings American history and culture to life.
It features a curated collection highlighting the nation’s founders, pivotal historical events, and American heroes whose leadership and creativity continue to drive American innovation forward. Using modern technology to enrich the narrative, visitors can scan QR codes on their mobile devices to activate first-person animated videos of iconic Americans sharing their personal stories.
The opening is a part of the U.S. Embassy‘s ongoing Freedom 250 celebrations, showcasing American excellence, honouring American history, and celebrating the United States’ enduring achievements. The Founders Museum will remain on display at the American Corner in Kampong Cham for two weeks before travelling to the U.S. Embassy’s other American Corners in Battambang and Siem Reap.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information regarding visiting hours or school group scheduling, please contact American Corner in Kampong Cham Coordinator Chea Molika by telephone at 010 913 842 or by email: chea.molika@ume-kpc.edu.kh.
