In 1946 it was at Westminster College that Winston Churchill delivered one of the most significant speeches of his long and illustrious career. That address, formally entitled, The Sinews of Peace, but best known for that evocative phrase, An Iron Curtain has descended across the Continent, effectively marked the beginning of the Cold War and linked, forever, Fulton and Westminster College with Winston Churchill.In the 1960s Westminster College set out to mark what would be the 40th anniversary of Churchill's visit. After due consideration to traditional modes of commemoration, Westminster College settled on the rather more ambitious notion of moving a Christopher Wren designed Church from London. This Church, St. Mary the Virgin Aldermanbury, had stood in London since 1677 when it replaced an earlier structure that had sat on the same site since the 12th century. This magnificent building, badly damaged during the London Blitz, was moved stone by stone to Westminster's campus and rebuilt to Wren's original specifications.Beneath this Church is the National Churchill Museum itself which through the imaginative and innovative use of technology bring to life the story of Winston Churchill and the world he knew. Recently rebuilt form the ground up the new displays and the permanent exhibition, together with host of associated historical and cultural activities that support it was recognized the by the United States Congress as America's permanent tribute to this great man and formally recognized as America's National Churchill Museum.

I live in Columbia, MO just 30 miles west and haven't been to the Museum in many years. Brought out-of-town friends and was astonished at the renovations and updating. Of course, everyone knows the story of Winston Churchill being invited to give the Green Lecture at Westminster College in 1946 and President Truman adding a hand-written note to the invitation. No one was prepared for the earth-shattering "Iron Curtain" speech Churchill gave!!! It made International news and changed the course of history. The Museum captures it all!!! The Church of St. Mary Alderbury, a fire-and-bomb-damaged Christopher Wren church was dismantled and transported as a pile of numbered stones to be reassembled into an unpretentious treasure with a stunning interior, grand organ (be sure to check the color of the keys), and windows that let in the natural light. Breakthrough, a sculpture utilizing a portion of the Berlin Wall by Churchill's granddaughter, was dedicated by President Reagan in 1990.
