  • Memorial Day 2019

It was a somber remembrance of veterans who gave their lives for the freedom of their fellow citizens.  The nation vows to never forget the sacrifice made by those men and women.  Township resident and patriot, Terry Rouwhorst reflected on his tour of duty in Vietnam almost a half century ago.

An extensive collection of Vietnam era uniforms and paraphernalia was on display at the museum.  

Thanks to the citizens of Olive Township who faithfully come each year to honor America’s military veterans.
