To fulfill this mission, the Wright Museum collects, cares for, and exhibits artifacts illustrating the heroic efforts of ordinary people living during extraordinary times.


The Wright Museum is a non-profit educational institution dedicated to celebrating Americans' sacrifices and achievements during WWII.  All of the museum's programs and events are supported solely through private donations.
