Become a Member. Honor a Great Lakes Retiree.

Submitting a Great Lakes retiree as an honoree is vital as we strive to preserve and share the unique stories of this Great Lakes community. As we continue to grow with your help, we are making this museum a special place for family, friends, and visitors. Your initial donation of $70* to honor a Great Lakes retiree (and $30+ per year thereafter) supports our mission of remembering those who served on the Great Lakes.

Questions? Call 989-734-0706 or email TheLoreMuseum@gmail.com

*Donation of $70 includes a $30 annual membership fee plus the cost of collage preparation.
