MHM Free Community Days - July: Stamps, Sugar, and Sacrifice – Rationing During WWII

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, July 5th – Stamps, Sugar, and Sacrifice: Rationing During WWII

Ration books and Scrap drives were two highly visible ways that civilians connected to the war effort. Join us to learn about popular ration recipes and share your family’s favorites. You can also try your hand at a scrap sorting challenge and learn about what materials around the home were needed to support the war effort and why.
