Churchill Statue at Westminster College, one of the best Missouri universities and just miles from colleges in Columbia

Sir Winston Churchill

When you hear about Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri - you may also hear about Sir Winston Churchill, and for good reason. On March 5, 1946, Sir Winston Churchill visited Westminster College as the Green Lecturer and delivered "Sinews of Peace," a message heard round the world that went down in history as the "Iron Curtain Speech."

The Man. The Message. The Museum.

The Man

Winston Churchill is forever remembered for his contributions as Prime Minister (PM) during World War II.

The Message

The address, formally entitled, "Sinews of Peace," but best known for that evocative phrase, "An Iron Curtain has descended across the Continent", effectively marked the beginning of the Cold War.

The Museum

The National Churchill Museum, on the campus of Westminster College, commemorates and celebrates the life, times, and distinguished career of Sir Winston Churchill.

At Westminster College, the faculty, staff and alumni are united to help you find your purpose and grow as a leader to make a difference in the world, no matter what path you choose.
