The Wisconsin Maritime Museum features extensive exhibits that share the history of manitowoc on Lake Michigan, as well as the maritime history of the entire state. In late 2022, Manitowoc was designated an American World War II Heritage City by the National Park Service because of the contributions made by Manitowoc’s businesses and citizens during the war. Manitowoc’s WWII heritage can still be explored today at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum and through its annual events, like Subfest. While at the museum, you can step directly into WWII history as you board and tour the docked USS Cobia submarine. Link to the Museum page below.
