We are 6 days away from our reopening! Our Assistant Director and Director of Education, Dr. Dawn Chitty, has been with the memorial museum for almost 16 years! She has been able to see the many transformations that our institution has had. Though we evolve over time, our history, our mission, and our foundations remain.
