The museum is offering a unique ceremony to honor WWI veterans with their purple hearts.

Among the hidden gems of history is the Tri-Cities Historic Museum in Grand Haven. As part of our WCSG’s Travelin’ Together series, we will explore the museum, which is hosting a special ceremony for Veterans this weekend.

The museum houses two floors of exhibits, including an old-time soda fountain, trading post and frontier cabin. The museum also houses a collection of over 70-thousand artifacts, collected from the region. They include books, photos, dishware, and other household items from families in the area.

This weekend, the museum is hosting a special ceremony recognizing 17 Grand Haven area soldiers from WWI eligible to receive a purple heart, for sustaining wounds during combat operations. The ceremony begins at 1:30 and requires an RSVP. For more information, visit Tri-Cities Hisotirical Museum..
