They are the founders of the Dayton International Peace Museum. Located at 208 West Monument Avenue in Dayton, Ohio, the museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10\u00a0a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 1-5 p.m.,\u00a0closed Mondays and all major holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Christine said the idea for the museum \u201cjust came out of my mouth one day. There are so many war museums and war memorials, but Dayton needed a Peace Museum.\u201d That was back in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>The two have been dedicated to peace all their lives. At one point they lived on a Soviet Union collective farm for six months. \u201cWe realized that people everywhere want peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the permanent exhibits there are always new exhibits. The next will honor Gandhi.<\/p>\n<p>The two said they are currently working on a major fundraiser, which is necessary to secure a major grant. They are planning to install an elevator and to do what Ralph called \u201cgreen expansions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The museum itself is located in the historic Pollack House, which is on the National Historic Register. Admission is free, but donations are always appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>The museum also owns a 33 foot\u00a0recreational vehicle\u00a0with traveling exhibits, which visits festivals, schools, and churches. The museum itself features many children\u2019s activities.
