2023 Annual Impact Report

As we look back to 2023, we know the excitement that we shared as we made progress coming out of the pandemic and putting that behind us as we move forward to accomplish our Mission. We are now reaching not only students who were not born in 1995, but educators who were born in 1995 or after. School kids and group groups are returning to the Museum for programming, and we had our best year yet welcoming the yellow school buses.

Maintaining a pristine Memorial and Museum is key to the success of telling this story. The Memorial was built on the site of the worst domestic terrorist attack on American soil. The 50,000-square-foot Museum is within the walls of a historically preserved building that survived the bombing. If these walls could talk – we would learn some incredible Oklahoma City history, as it was built by the Masons more than 100 years ago. It served as a theater venue, offices and on April 19, 1995, it was the home to the Journal Record newspaper. Today, it is home to the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum and Memorial Archives.

People come from around the world to learn this story and witness our efforts in memorialization. With each passing year, our story becomes more important as we work through public and school programming to tell this story.

We know we have not and would not have gotten here alone.

Thank you for showing up to serve – rising up to honor – and stepping up to be kind. Those tenets of the Oklahoma Standard are more important today than ever and we hope you will continue to inspire others with your work!
