The 2400 square foot Saginaw River Marine Historical Society Museum and Store is in the Bay City Town Center (formerly known as Bay City Mall) and is located next to Zales Jewelers. Link to the Saginaw River Marine Historical Society Museum and Store on Google Maps: goo.gl/maps/M2hhiofdV1pNbeuF8
The artifacts on display in the SRMHS Museum tell the story of shipbuilding on the Saginaw River. While it is not a complete history of shipbuilding, we hope this will encourage visitors to learn more about the contributions of early Saginaw River shipbuilders. More than 650 commercial vessels were built on the Saginaw River and around the Saginaw Bay.
You can make an appointment to visit the SRMHS Museum and Store by calling Don Morin (SRMHS president) at 989-545-9425.
(Note: Bay City Town Center is an enclosed shopping mall in Bangor Township, Bay County, Michigan, just outside the city of Bay City.
