The Doan Gang: Outlaws of the Revolution

Member Preview Day: Friday, May 3, 2024

May 4, 2024 – December 31, 2026
Special Exhibition Included with Museum Admission

The Mercer Museum presents an exciting new major exhibition, The Doan Gang: Outlaws of the Revolution, that explores the history and intrigue of a group of Revolutionary War-era Loyalists whose legend lives on today. Some called them villains; others hailed them as heroes.

Discover the untold stories of the Doan Gang at the Mercer Museum’s newest immersive exhibition, and journey through a world of espionage, legendary robberies, and mythical lost treasure in the heart of Revolutionary Bucks County.

Learn how these local outlaws plotted, schemed, and plundered their way through a divided world in the earliest days of a budding American nation, and why their deep loyalty to British rule in the colonies made them enemies of the Founding Fathers.

The Doan Gang: Outlaws of the Revolution investigates the extraordinary tales of the Gang’s criminal exploits throughout the region and explores the conflicts that arose among neighbors, friends, and families in Bucks County who were forced to choose sides during a time of great political and social unrest.
