America's National Churchill Museum - Fulton, Missouri

Lesley Burnette

Who even knew this was here?! We didn’t until we saw a sign on the interstate and stopped. This is a must do for anyone interested in Churchill or WWII. Extremely well done.

Wonderful museum gem located in Fulton, just south of Interstate 70. Want to return and spend more time. Interesting. More appropriate for adults as small children would probably bore quickly.

Laid out chronologically and sensibly. The exhibits are well-presented and informative.

The student docents were very helpful and provided us a scavenger hunt sheet suitable for all ages. That connected us more to the museum presentations and helped us get more form our visit.

Highly recommended!

Such a hidden gem! Why is this not more widely known across the state?! Great, interactive exhibits about Churchill and his times. We took kids 8 & 11 who also thoroughly enjoyed it. If you show up close to closing, you can go in free, but it does take close to two hours to do it justice. I believe they said that a ticket is valid for 24 hours so you can come back the next day to explore some more. Tasty tip--hit the Fulton Wurst House while you're in the area.

My brother and I visited Kansas and Missouri in November of 2023, and stayed in Kansas City. To see the Gateway Arch, we drove across the state, and stopped at the National Churchill Museum, having discovered it through Wikipedia.

The museum is an awesome experience. The church has a very compelling story - having been bombed by the Luftwaffe and then brought over to the United States - and the exhibit is presented in a very easy-to-follow way for Americans who may not know everything about Churchill's career. There are photo opportunities and this is probably most evident with the sections of the Berlin Wall on display ('Breakthrough;' its counterpart is at the FDR Museum in New York).

We spent around 2 hours here and did not feel rushed. The gift shop is very small and the items we saw there were rather pricey, I will add.

This is a very cool museum. Between the history of the church and Winston Churchill, it's a very unique experience. You can even go into the church. I recommend going on a bright and sunny day. The church will light up with the natural light and it's beautiful. Churchill's life is also very fascinating to study. I hadn't learned of his career before WW2 and it was interesting how he predicted Hitler's plans. I'd highly recommend this to anyone interested in architecture or WW2 history.

Have driven by on the interstate for years, seen signs, and never stopped (it's only 7 miles). What a delightful place! A rebuilt Christopher Wren designed English church and a new museum underneath (opened in 2017). Large section of the Berlin Wall there too. Churchill exhibits and memorabilia are fascinating. Even have some of his paintings. Well worth the stop!

An amazing piece of history right here in central missouri. Churchill gave his Iron Curtain speech here with President Harry S Truman. Ronald Reagan asked Gorbachev to tear down the wall and so much more happened right here on campus. The church was bombed out in England and eventually flown piece by piece overs here to Missouri to create this beautiful national memorial. A piece of the Berlin Wall stands on campus too. The sculpture was made by Churchill’s granddaughter. A must see spot. Check out the museum inside the Christopher Wren designed church.
