Hours: Do you know the hours for this business?
Services/Products: The Jordan M. Wright collection is the World's largest (1.250.000 objects) and most important privately held collection of global presidential and political campaign memorabilia. The Collection's main focus is on american presidential memorabilia and begins in 1780 with a rare George washington picture flag and five buttons celebrating the subsequent presidential campaign. The collection contains major party candidates and "third" party candidates. The collection holdings range in content and tone from idealistic. To humorous. To scathingly critical. Indeed. The collection has much to teach viewers about OUR world history and politics. Including the reality that SO called negative campaigning is nothing NEW. Seen AS a whole. The collection attests to the complex nature of mass political campaigns. Which rests in large measure on the notion that democracy is inherently participatory. With citizens. NOT subjects playing an active role in the election process. The collection is global in scope and serves to highlight social and historical movements throughout the history of the modern world. Including the civil rights movement. Women's right to vote. September 11TH. 2001. Among others.
