Winston Churchill Museum
Established in 1994 as a successor to International Churchill Society of the United States.The first Patron of the International Churchill Societies was Admiral of the Fleet The Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Our present Patron is The Lady Soames LG DBE, Sir Winston Churchill's youngest daughter.
Among our original honorary members were The Baroness Clementine Spencer-Churchill; Randolph S. Churchill; The Rt. Hon. The Lord Stockton (Harold Macmillan); The Hon. W. Averell Harriman; Sir John Colville; The Rt. Hon. The Lord Soames (Christopher Soames); Sir John Martin; Anthony Montague Browne.Members of The Churchill Centre receive the quarterly Finest Hour, which includes all conference and other event proceedings, and the periodic newsletter Chartwell Bulletin.
The Centre began with an initial endowment of $100,000, contributed in equal parts by the International Churchill Society of the United States and its own Founding Members. That endowment has grown to over $1 million. Our continued success depends on the continued growth of our Endowment Fund and our annual Heritage Fund Appeal.
