Michigan Heroes Museum

Michigan's Military and Space Heroes Museum (MMSHM), located in Frankenmuth, Michigan, holds over 700 exhibits, each devoted to a Michigan soldier, sailor, marine, or airman. Youthful faces peer at a visitor from photographs on the walls and in display cases, some accompanied by pictures of the old men and women that the young warriors became. Other faces - of those who fell - are frozen exclusively forever in young adulthood. Michigan's Military and Space Heroes Museum exists to nurture the memories of people from Michigan farms, offices, and factories who heeded the summons to military service during America's foreign wars; from the Spanish - American War to the War on Terrorism. MMSHM is unique in the United States in that it is the only repository devoted to the wartime experience of one state's people. The museum includes a section devoted to the Medal of Honor recipients and this collection includes more Medals of Honor than any other museum in the United States.
