The Webber Wildlife Museum is a privately owned collection of approximately 140 life size mounts of animals taken from Mexico, through the Southwestern United States, from the regions of the Rocky Mountains and Western Canada, from the Arctic, to Spain, Austria, and Africa. The museum was created by the finest Wildlife Artists in the country. Each animal was specifically positioned into its respective diorama to represent its native environment. The artisans then designed the entire museum flowing from one area of the world to another. The museum is open to the Scouts free of charge and seek nothing in return. To see this vast collection of animals in one private museum is truly a rare opportunity.
There are currently only approximately five museums of this quality and size in the country that are privately owned. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. As for scheduling of the Troops, we can meet any request, daytime, evenings, or week-ends, and ours can be scheduled by telephone at 586-465-3800. The museum is located at 44710 Morley Drive Clinton Township, Michigan. This is approximately ¼ mile south of hall Road, just West of Gratiot Ave.
