The story
The Saginaw Valley Naval Ship Museum is dedicated to honoring veterans, documenting United States Navy history, and highlighting the Great Lakes Bay Region. The museum is permanently housed in the USS Edson, a retired United States Navy destroyer. The museum is located in Bay City, Michigan, United States. Those responsible for this destroyer being brought to Bay City and opened as a museum are Mike Kegley, Richard Janke, Mary Kegley, and Mark Janke. This destroyer will be the main element for the museum as it has plans to expand into other exhibits in the years to come.
