Discover the place where Churchill’s words changed history—and where his legacy continues to inspire.

At Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, America’s National Churchill Museum preserves and explores the life, leadership, and enduring legacy of Winston Churchill. Here, on March 5, 1946, Churchill delivered “The Sinews of Peace,” his historic “Iron Curtain” speech, alongside President Harry S Truman.

Established in 1969 as the Winston Churchill Memorial and Library in the United States, the Museum grew from a national campaign supported by Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Eisenhower, and Truman. Today, its collections, exhibitions, and educational programs connect Churchill’s extraordinary story with the challenges facing each new generation.

At the heart of the Museum stands the magnificent Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury, designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the seventeenth century. Gutted during the London Blitz, the church was brought to Fulton and restored as a memorial to Churchill—a remarkable symbol of resilience, renewal, and the enduring friendship between Britain and America.

Beside the church, Breakthrough, a monumental sculpture by Churchill’s granddaughter Edwina Sandys, transforms the largest continuous section of the Berlin Wall in North America into a powerful expression of freedom. Together, the Museum, Wren church, and Berlin Wall invite visitors to explore a history that shaped our world—and consider how courage, leadership, and resolve can shape its future.
