Continuing on the theme of our veterans we will be displaying a tribute to the WWII veterans. We have partnered with the “Wings over Alpena” event and will display an exhibit on WWII.  

The exhibit will be on display from July to September. This exhibit is by Alpena for Alpena and I will explain why. Our collection items from WWII are very  limited. SO we are asking Alpena once again to contribute. We need WWII items. Uniforms, rifles, medals, flags, photos, newspaper clippings, anything!  I understand that not everyone is willing to donate their family treasures, so how about a loan? That’s right, simply loan this item to us for three months and allow it’s history  to be seen and shared with others. I am dedicating our largest gallery space for this exhibit because I feel it is that important.  Sadly our history of WWII is fading away. This exhibit will give us all a chance to re-visit a very   important part of our history in Alpena.
