Disability Museum
The Disability History Museum's mission
is to promote understanding about
the historical experience of people with
disabilities by recovering, chronicling, and
interpreting their stories. Our goal is to
help foster a deeper understanding of
disability and to dispel lingering myths,
assumptions, and stereotypes by examining
these cultural legacies
.
