Historical Corner
Much progress has been made on the museum interior since we last reported. We’ re still awaiting the solid oak doors and the stained-glass window design will soon be finalized. We plan to do a walk-through with our curator and continue to plan the layout for each display.
There are many subject projects underway by several members and more on our list to be represented within the walls of the museum. The Committee continues to look for information in the form of photos, stories or artifacts specifically about the subjects listed below:
• Cabin Names, their history, photo of their name sign, photo of the cabin( then and now if possible)
• Horse barns – at the Ranch House or the one in the hunting area and / or of riders on the property
• Lumberjacks / loggers / logging photos or stories
• Teen Club
• M33 Range photos / stories
• Old Rifle Range photos / stories
•“ Any” activities or events from the past
• Anything from the Old Ranch House or that was used within the old ranch house.
You don’ t have to give up your treasure, you can loan it to the museum, if it’ s a document or photo, we can reproduce it and return the original to you. So, please look around and through some of the old souvenirs and storage boxes, there may be a treasure for the museum there.
Contact Nancy Thurston( 989-306-7757) or Jo-Carole Zechel( 989-350-5603) if you have any questions or something that would be of interest in the museum. The final fundraiser raffle for the Thunder Bay Elk Viewing / Gourmet Dinner was drawn on August 31 st at the Arts and Crafts event. The winner will be posted in the next issue of the CCR News.
