This Veterans Memorial is dedicated to any and all Upper Peninsula Armed Forces veterans of all services. It is newly built in last 10 yrs by dedicated local folks. Memorial tiles have been installed by family members. Located atop Pine Mountain and adjacent to the top of Pine Mountain Ski Jump, and at top end of the steps from the bottom of the Ski Jump. This memorial is a must-see for tourists. ... Free & open to public, but hard to find; GPS might not work. You'll drive through some residential neighborhoods & on gravel roads.

Stephenson Ave., head westbound on US2, going through downtown Iron Mtn.; make a LEFT turn onto Kent Street at sign for Pine Mountain Resort, and also for Museum. Proceed on Kent St. up the hill, past the Cornish Pump & Glider Musem. (go back to them later if you haven't been there). Kent St. goes through a few residential blocks. You'll come to a stop sign, with a sign pointing to the right, to go to Pine Mtn Resort. Make right turn onto Forest. Proceed 1 block; make left turn onto Walker St. ... Proceed on Walker St. until you come to a fork in the road, with a sign pointing to the right.

Always a great hill to ski. Lots of terrain to explore. Beginners should be comfortable with older chair lifts that are faster and tougher to load/exit. Ask them to slow down if unfamiliar.

Really enjoy playing here. Don’t let the relatively short yardage fool you, it is plenty challenging. There is plenty of slope and the fairways are pretty narrow with trees on both sides of many fairways. The landing areas are actually pretty generous, but it is very tempting to hit past the landing area making it more target style golf. The greens are good sized, and roll really well. Great fun.

2021 SEASON UPDATE: We are hoping to open by July 2021 for a shorter summer season if Covid-19 regulations & State guidelines allow. Check back for opening date! During World War II, the Ford Motor Company's plant in Kingsford built more Model CG-4A gliders for the United States Army than any other company in the nation at much less cost than other manufacturers. Our CG-4A Glider, one of seven fully-restored gliders worldwide, is the focal point of the World War II Glider & Military Museum. The museum also contains an extensive collection of military uniforms from the Civil War to Desert Storm, a WWII Ford jeep and meticulously restored Clark CA-1 dozer, historic photos, period film footage of glider construction at the local Ford Motor Company plant as well as the prestigious Army-Navy "E" Award presentation in 1944. Additional exhibits include a 1939 Ford V-8 DeLuxe “Woodie” Station Wagon, 1928 Ford AA Fire Engine, 1930 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan & 1930 Ford Model AA Dump Truck.
