A Curated Environment

The War Memorial exists to introduce new ideas, expand horizons and celebrate culture. We exist to combat the trend of anti-intellectualism in our country and help people become more aware, more tuned in, and more hungry for knowledge. We exist to provide access. Access to art, music and entertainment from across the region, across the country and around the world. Access to our historic Grosse Pointe estate and beautiful Lake St. Clair. We exist so that people can celebrate life and all of its joyous moments in a safe, comfortable, familiar environment. Whether that’s a summer concert on the lawn next to beautiful Lake St. Clair, a teenage dance, or an elegant wedding. And we exist to promote the ideals of democracy — the ideals valued within a perfect Union. Everyone is welcome at The War Memorial — there are no residency requirements and membership is not necessary.
