Help Great Lakes Celebrate Its Centenary
The mission of the newest of the Navy’s 12 official museums, the Great Lakes Naval Museum, is not to tell the story of famous leaders or explain the workings of technological developments. Nary an airplane hangs from the ceiling, and the nearest saltwater is more than 1,000 miles away. “This is the only official Navy museum in the Midwest and the only one devoted to telling the story of boot camp and the role of the enlisted sailor,” explained director Jennifer Searcy. “That’s a story worth telling.”
