Inductee Ceremony For The Stanley Legacy Wall At Port Huron Museums

The Legacy Wall, located in the Port Huron Museums’ Carnegie Center, features heroes of the community who have made contributions in various areas, including education, civil/public service, business, athletics, science/healthcare, entertainment, literature, and media. 

As part of a yearly tradition, a committee of local community members will choose new inductees to have their names added to the wall. 

The ceremony will take place at the museum on Saturday, May 20th, from 11:30am – 1:30pm, and will be open to the public, with admission by donation. However, due to limited space, reservations are required.

The exhibit also features artifacts and memorabilia from the Stanley family’s personal collection, showcasing their contributions to the Port Huron area. The “From Whence We Came” exhibit is open to the public and is a must-visit for those who want to learn about the city’s rich history and the individuals who have helped shape it.
