Our Vision
Our vision is to invite people of all ages and walks of life into a welcoming place where they experience learning though unique aspects of the museum. Through that learning, they become more engaged in their community, developing an appreciation of the collective experiences of those who have gone before, and a passion to perpetuate those experiences to benefit those yet to come.
