"History is the account of things said and done in the past. In this sense, each of us has a history - an account of where we come from and how we got to be who we are. Communities, likewise, each have a history. So do nations, families, and human groups of every sort.
History serves us in many ways. It can inspire us with stories of exemplary lives or caution us with tales of human folly and wickedness. History can inform and educate us by providing the context and perspective that allow us to make thoughtful decisions about the future.
And history has the power to delight and enrich us, enlarging and intensifying the experience of being alive."

PARTNERS IN PRESERVING AND DEPICTING HISTORY
Over the years donations of artifacts, memorabilia, models, photographs, prints, books and other keepsakes have helped Wings of Dreams begin creating inspiring and meaningful educational displays.
On this day, we will display a sampling of unique collectibles for viewing. We want to pay tribute to these donors who play an important role in the museum building process, helping us preserve and depict history.
