The Heritage Center at Maritime Museum

A hands-on exhibit-focused museum specializing in maritime history and education of the Great Lakes.

Edgewater’s team developed a campus Master Plan preserving current traditions and the future legacy of the museum campus. Elements of the Master Plan included a new marina and docks to accommodate the “On the Water” trademark events, guests, and the current fleet including several sailing vessels, a Truscott boat, and a tall ship. The new Edgewater designed building, completed in 2022, is 17,000 square feet and two stories tall, with state-of-the-art technology, expanded research and education capabilities, fully accessible exhibits, education, and a ship store with event and meeting spaces. Campus elements continue to be implemented, making the Master Plan come to life.
