A Living Museum Project
From warehouse to wonder: help us build a museum from Bill’s lifetime of history.
Bill spent decades crafting plaques and collecting military replicas and artifacts. Now we’re turning that lifetime into a place kids and families can touch, learn, and remember. You can push this from dream to doors-open.
100% of profits from our shop and donations go toward the museum buildout, documented openly.
