Listen "The Founding and Early Collection of the Lakeshore Museum Center"
Episode Synopsis
In 1937, Muskegon held a centennial festival to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the first sawmill being built on Muskegon Lake, and Michigan becoming a state. This festival had many oddities and events, but it also included the collection of Muskegon artifacts. It was this collection that became the basis for a county history museum. 85 years later, these items are still an important part of the Lakeshore Museum Center's collection. Currently these items are on display at the museum in our From the Ledger exhibit, which goes through summer of 2022.
