Detroit Arsenal of Democracy Museum seeking donations, volunteers in preparation of moving to new space
(CBS DETROIT) – The Detroit Arsenal of Democracy Museum is moving to a new space and is seeking donations and volunteers to help with the move.
The museum, which was housed in Macomb County, is moving to an industrial space on Glendale Street in Detroit. Museum officials say the space needs floor repairs and painting on both the interior and exterior. The museum is seeking building materials and volunteers from veteran and military groups to help with the restoration and project management, according to a news release.
“We’re in full-on restoration mode,” Detroit Arsenal of Democracy Museum Director John Lind said in a statement.
The museum closed its doors in 2016, putting its vintage military vehicles in temporary private storage.
Visit the museum’s website for information on donating or call the museum at 586-604-5393.

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
