The National Award Winning Veterans Museum was constructed and dedicated in 2002, the museum was entirely achieved by donations of material and labor. The Veteran's Memorial Museum Project was recognized as #1 in the nation by the Veteran's of Foreign Wars.
Other exhibits feature uniform displays, a military jeep,
Japanese swords, a variety of weapons, Civil War items, and over 300
pictures of military personnel from the Civil War to Vietnam to
Desert Storm.
The Museum is owned by the City of Manton and the Museum Board. It
is run and managed by volunteers.
Manton is a pretty little town up in Wexford County just a few
miles east of Mesick. Mesick is home to that world famous Morel
Mushroom Festival.
Sportsmen and nature lovers may know of Manton because the area
abounds with trails, parks, lakes and designated trout streams. The
section of the Manistee River that flows just north is incredibly
beautiful.
