The traveling exhibit acts as a catalyst for the creation of a permanent Cold War Museum. The Museum will exhibit artifacts and memorabilia associated with various Cold War related events and activities such as Winston Churchill’s Fulton, Missouri speech; the Marshall Plan; the Berlin Air Lift; the building of the Berlin Wall; the Korean War; the U-2 Incident; the Bay of Pigs; the Cuban Missile Crisis; the Vietnam War; President Gorbachev’s “Perestroika” and “Glasnost”; Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars); the fall of the Berlin Wall; and the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 1997, Congressman Tom Davis, with the assistance of the Cold War Museum, drafted legislation for the creation of a “Cold War Memorial” that will honor all the men and women who were part of Cold War events and activities.
