Construction is beginning on the new Museum of the American Revolution (MoAR) in the historic heart of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, due in part to a gift from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The $1.5 million donation from the Church was presented to H. F. (Gerry) Lenfest, chairman of the museum, on Thursday, 24 April 2014, by Dennis C. Brimhall, president and CEO of FamilySearch International, which is affiliated with the Church.
