State of the Museum Address
📅 April 22 | 🕙 10 AM
📍 Great Lakes Community Education Center, National Museum of the Great Lakes
💻 We’ll also stream virtually on this page, presented by Buckeye Broadband.
For 80 years, the National Museum of the Great Lakes has preserved and shared the rich history of our region’s inland seas. Now, as we welcome our Second Wave, we’re taking history into the future—solidifying our role as the gathering place for Great Lakes conversations today and beyond.
Join us for an exclusive look at our 5-year strategic plan, including new key priorities, core values, and our refreshed mission and vision. Hear from museum leadership as we reflect on where we’ve been, share where we are now, and outline how we’re working to make Toledo the Great Lakes city.
Be part of the conversation—because together, we can shape the future of Great Lakes history.
