Workers move the original pre-1997 “Wheel of Fortune” puzzle board into The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, N.Y., on Monday, March 2, 2026. The massive board — used on the television game show Wheel of Fortune when co-host Vanna White manually turned the letters — was transported across the country over six days and brought into the museum through a temporary opening in an exterior wall. The artifact will be featured in the museum’s upcoming “Beyond the Buzzer” exhibit on the history of American game shows.
