We continue to evolve! The Freedom Museum has changed its name to
the McCormick Freedom Project. Our new name better reflects our mission and scope of services.
What hasn't changed? Our commitment to inspire lifelong civic engagement. Our outreach model focuses on
helping citizens, especially teens, to understand, value and protect their First Amendment rights.
*Please note that, in conjunction with our name change, our web address is now
www.freedomproject.us, and update your links and bookmarks accordingly.
