A final shout out and thank you to County National Bank for sponsoring our Veterans, seniors, and students this month, we truly appreciate it and the turnout for May was great. If you or your business would like to sponsor a month, the cost is affordable, and its great visibility for you. It also helps to honor those who served during the 250th anniversary of this great nation. So contact us and we will make it happen. Otherwise, we are back to normal admission for June. Thank you all.

At the museum, we can take any form of payment. Volunteers are also selling. If you aren’t in Jackson, swing into Rives Quality meats and get some. Thank you all for your support.

As Memorial Day Weekend continues, let us not forget that it is a day for those who gave their lives in the service of this great nation, not for those who served. Take a moment from all the activities and remember someone close to you who made that ultimate sacrifice. Share their name and a story or picture with us here so that they will be remembered. We will start; in Chelsea Michigan are two graves side by side that we visit often, Donald McCune II and Benjamin Lewis. A Father and Step Son who served in Iraq. Donnie was killed in 2004 by enemy fire, Ben became one of the silent casualties when he took his own life in 2013 after many years of service. This weekend and always we remember them, who do you remember and honor? Please share...
