National Churchill Museum

The National Churchill Museum is a biographical museum in Fulton housed within a reconstructed church transported from London after World War II. The building contains exhibits, documents, photographs, personal items, and displays the largest continuous section of the Berlin Wall in North America.

The museum opened in 1969 following a national campaign supported by multiple U.S. presidents to commemorate Churchill's 1946 speech. The church housing the museum was rebuilt from stones of the original London structure that suffered damage during World War II.

The site preserves Churchill's legacy through personal objects and documents that reveal his daily life and thinking. Visitors can see how his ideas and decisions shaped the world during his lifetime and beyond.

The museum offers interactive exhibits and educational programs for visitors of all ages. The site is accessible and allows visitors to explore both the displays and the historic structure itself.

The building is a faithful reconstruction of a 14th-century London church that was transported stone by stone to the United States. This unusual construction project connects British history with American commemoration in an unexpected way.
