The mission of the museum is to honor the Italian immigrants, tell their story and the contribution of Italian Americans. All of our staff are volunteers. In addition to our regular hours we are open by chance and advance appointment. Prof./Cav. Philip J. DiNovo is the founder and president. In 1994 he was knighted by the Italian government for his years of outstanding service to the Italian American community. On the second floor of the museum is the Italian Cultural Center which includes a hall, library, classroom, art gallery, chapel, small kitchen and a meeting area. The following are offered: Italian language, cooking, and genealogy classes are offered. Also cultural, concerts, movies and Italian celebrations take place.
