Mussy-sur-seine

In Mussy-sur-Seine in the Aube district, was created in 1967 "The Museum of the Resistant fighters", a tribute to the bravery of the french civilians soldiers.

The museum wants to perpetuate the memory of the resistants that fought in June 1944 in the "maquis" near Mussy-Grancey in the forest between the valley of the Seine and the valley of the Ource.

This bush, placed under the command of Emile Alagiraude, aka Montcalm, grouped together 200 FFI in June 1944 at the disembarkation of Normandy, and close to 1 200 at the end of the month of July.

The Museum was installed in the building of the former French police force at the disposal of the Friendly one voluntary Fighters of the secret army and Committee of the memory of the bush of mussy-grancey. The museum was inaugurated by Robert Galley in May 1971, in the presence of the prefect of the Aube and general counselors of Mussy and Bar-sur-Seine. The collections presents equipment, prisoner costumes, photographs, posters of the Resistance, as well as flags of the Montcalm secret army and 131st Regiment of infantry.
