What was the name of the train that carried a traveling museum across the United States for the 1976 Bicentennial?

The train that carried a traveling museum across the United States for the 1976 Bicentennial was the American Freedom Train.

The train launched in Wilmington, Delaware, on April 1, 1975, beginning a 21-month tour connected with the American Revolution Bicentennial. Its exhibition cars displayed hundreds of American artifacts, including historical documents, artworks, inventions, and cultural objects.

The American Freedom Train traveled through the 48 contiguous states. It was designed to bring the celebration directly to communities rather than confine it to a few major cities. Large crowds visited the train at stops around the country.

The train is sometimes confused with ordinary passenger services that used patriotic names during the Bicentennial period. It was specifically a mobile exhibition created for the national anniversary celebration, and its route became one of the most visible symbols of the 1976 observances.
