This is a very nicely down museum in a tiny town that is definately worth detouring for. Section of the Berlin Wall is very educational and one should consider sharing with their teen children. The film on Churchill was a bit disappointing as it did a poor job educating you about him from birth to death - but it is... More

Tiny Westminster College in Fulton, MO, hosted Winston Churchill, accompanied by President Harry Truman, in March 1946. It was here that Churchill made his prophetic "Iron Curtain" speech about the growing power of the USSR. The museum highlights Winston Churchill's remarkable career, it is a great tribute to a giant of a man. It is chilling to be reminded how... More

We had been meaning to visit this museum for some time and were glad we finally did. The museum is here in the middle of Missouri at Westminster College in Fulton to commemorate the fact that in 1946, the former British Prime Minister and wartime leader accepted the small college’s invitation to present a speech here. The oration itself is... More

It was a lot of information and a lot to read, so I just browsed through most of it. There are certainly interesting exhibits, but it seemed like overwhelming to me.

Outstanding exhibit tells the story of Winston Churchill's life in an approachable, lively way. The museum is superbly designed, with lots of interactive exhibits, short film clips, etc. Easily held my attention, and I ended up staying for nearly four hours. Children would find much to entertain them as well. Such a surprise to find this fabulous spot in a... More

The church is beautiful! Although it's one of Christopher Wren's more simplistic designs on the outside, the inside is gorgeous! The museum and library itself are very informational and always have a new exhibit whenever I visit. A great piece of history to explore!

This is a national museum. The facilty is built below a 14th century church that was dismantled brought from England. The museum is interactive and fabulous. We've been many times and try to go every time we're in town. The facility is that amazing, plus the traveling exhibits are very good as well. They have a reciprocal agreement with many... More
