Extraordinary Local Museum
As the very knowledgeable docent explained...this museum goes beyond featuring historic artifacts, they focus on the stories of real people. Each exhibit focuses on actual Michigan natives who served in the military and/or NASA. You do of course, get to see actual uniforms, tools, medals, weapons...but more importantly, you learn about the stories behind the incredible service these individuals gave to our country. Spanning The Spanish-American War to today, the museum covers a great deal of ground in a relatively small space. You don't have to be from Michigan or a military buff to appreciate the powerful, human contribution made by the exemplary Americans celebrated here. Admission is very reasonable, and you will leave feeling humbled.

Lots to see...Give yourself extra time
Alot of things to see. Some astounding. An artillery Luger atop a pile of German pistols with others under it, as well as other makes & models. Tens of thousands of dollars of donated war trophies. In a pile, in a case. This should give you a quick idea of the shear number of artifacts to see in this museum. We spent an hour, met a young docent quite intent on giving us a tour, even though we suggested several times we merely wanted to move at our own pace. He was extremely knowledgeable, for one his age. Thanks Jack. A Deputy Director, John, I believe, also pointed out some items, specifically those having belonged to Don Burgett of the 101st Airborne. The Director happened to be there, and was quite amicable, and showed us some things after we identified ourselves as museum docents from Illinois. Additionally, he referred us to a local rib joint, which was incredible. Great people, an interesting place. Don't forget to look up above the showcases, where artifacts are placed, or you'll miss alot.
