“We are so excited to begin welcoming visitors back to the Museum,” said Mike Noller, President and CEO. “We’re looking forward to sharing history’s stories face-to-face with people again, and as we are all on a very personal level navigating through these incredibly challenging times, we are immensely thankful for this opportunity to help our community begin the process of returning to normal.”
