Join us at the Muskegon Heritage Museum of Business and Industry for one day each month where we are open free to the public.
This year our overarching theme is commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the end of WWII. Each of these Saturdays will have a different theme to highlight our collection and Muskegon’s contributions to the war effort.
Saturday, October 4th – From Battlefield to Homefront: What Happened When Soldiers Came Home
The country faced an enormous challenge following the successful conclusion of World War II–how to reintegrate returning soldiers into a Post War economy. Learn about how the GI Bill transformed American education, housing and politics.
This event is sponsored by RENK America and Eagle Alloy, Inc.
