Mission/History Stonewall’s Mission The Stonewall National Museum & Archives is an extraordinary publicly accessible cultural and educational resource that preserves, interprets and shares the remarkable heritage of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. More than that, we serve as an epicenter of enlightenment for our community and have played a significant role in building bridges of cultural understanding in the LGBT community and beyond.
The Stonewall National Museum & Archives provides a unique cultural and intellectual alternative in the community and through our collections, programs and services we honor and explore the past while striving to engage, inform and inspire the next generation of our community’s leaders.
