In 2021, the Larry Bruno Foundation will be transitioning the Museum and Hall of Achievement into a new home. An open house to tour the new building will be announced as the project progresses.
When visiting the new location, you will experience the rich history of learning and achievement led by members of our vibrant community. You will read, watch, meet and learn from our past Inductees and Honorees that we have given reverence to over the past 10 years. Our state-of-art digital classroom and storytelling center will be equipped with two large video screens and video cameras to broadcast live and interactive presentations from around the country.
Stay tuned for more information on this exciting project!
