Preserving Michigan's contribution

to the defense of democracy

The Michigan Military Technical & Historical Society opened the Museum on 11/11/11 and is dedicated to preserving the stories of Michigan citizens who served and sacrificed, here and abroad, from WWI to the present. Our 11,000 square feet Museum exhibits the actual equipment, weapons, uniforms and other artifacts that highlight the substantial impact that Michigan has contributed in the defense of democracy.
