The National Churchill Museum, was originally established in 1969 as the Winston Churchill Memorial and Library in the United States and renamed by act of Congress in 2009 as "America's National Churchill Museum". The museum and historic site is the nation's leading institution dedicated to remembering and honoring the life and enduring legacy of British Statesman Winston S. Churchill. The Museum, located on the campus of Westminster College, was created after a national campaign chaired by U.S. Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Eisenhower and Truman to memorialize the speech Churchill gave at the school on March 5, 1946. The Museum includes the majestic 17th-century church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury created by British architect Sir Christopher Wren. Bombed and badly damaged in the Second World War, the building was relocated from London to Fulton, Missouri, in the 1960s to honor Churchill's speech at Westminster College. The Museum also includes the largest continuous section of the Berlin Wall in North America, which is now a sculpture by Edwina Sandys, granddaughter of Winston Churchill. At the museum we are honoring the 80th Anniversary of the March 5, 1946, Iron Curtain Speech!  "It is a solemn moment for the American Democracy. For with primacy in power is also joined an awe-inspiring accountability to the future" – Winston Churchill, "The Sinews of Peace" ('Iron Curtain' Speech). https://www.nationalchurchillmuseum.org/sinews-of-peace-iron-curtain-speech.html The presence of Winston Churchill and President Harry Truman turned a college gymnasium in a small Midwestern town into a world stage as Churchill delivered his most famous post- World War II address — "The Sinews of Peace." That Churchill and Truman would travel to Fulton, Missouri, is a story of a college president with the boldness to ask for the seemingly impossible; of a Westminster College alumnus with access to the President of the United States; of a President of the United States with the willingness to endorse the invitation; and of a recently defeated British Prime Minister with the shrewdness to recognize an opportunity. It is a story of coincidence and a moment boldly grasped — a combination Churchill capitalized on throughout his life. We encourage you to visit our museum at any time of the year! The National Churchill Museum in Fulton, MO is the most comprehensive remembrance in honor of perhaps the greatest leader not only from WWII, but perhaps in the 20th Century! Hours: Daily 10:00 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. Closed: Thanksgiving Day - Christmas Dayand New Year's Day – 573-592-5369 https://www.nationalchurchillmuseum.org/
