HOUGHTON -- The Carnegie Museum in Houghton is asking for your help in identifying photos from more than 160 World War II veterans.
The museum received a collection of letters and photographs from local soldiers. They wrote letters to a bar owner in Laurium who replied to all of them during the war. His relatives found them in the basement of his house and donated them to the museum, as well as the Keweenaw National Historic Park.
They're now part of a "Remember Me" exhibit at the museum.
Staff members hope friends and relatives can put the faces to the letters that were written.
"This is the way people communicated when they were far from home, through letters, hand written letters," said Carnegie Museum Director, Elise Nelson. "And that has changed so dramatically in my generation, and I think there's something: it's not just nostalgia, but it's a whole different way of looking at the world."
The exhibit will be on display until December 31.
