During World War II, the Ford Motor Co., in Kingsford, built more of the engineless gliders than any other company. The World War II Glider and Military Museum features the 8th totally restored CG 4A Glider in the World!! This impressive museum holds unique collections of military uniforms from the Civil War through Iraq-Afghanistan. Other memorabilia includes fantastic displays of WWII photographs, German artifacts, 1930’s rare Model AA Ford Dump Truck, Model A Ford Tudor and the “Heiserman”, ¾ size Piper Cub replica used extensively in WWII, exciting WWII footage and personal stories of glider riders, Wall of Military and General Plaques honoring those who served along with the names of donors and more. Restoration of the glider, and the idea for a Glider Museum , began when the Historical Foundation received a deteriorated fuselage frame. The glider was originally owned by Olaf and Beatrice Blomquist of Iron Mountain who purchased it for $75 sometime after the war ended from the Ford Plant in Kingsford when surplus gliders were offered for sale. The Blomquist’s, in turn, sold it to their nephew, Vernon (Janie) Anderson of Metropolitan where it was used as a play house and hunting camp. The prized artifact was much later donated in 2005 by the Anderson ’s to the Historical Foundation. Interest generated enough funds to make the restoration possible and a suitable museum was then built to house the plane. The WWII Glider and Military Museum opened in July, 2011. Open Monday - Saturday 9 am - 5 pm. Sunday 12-4. Call ahead for more information and pricing.
