Dr. Russell Magnaghi, history professor emeritus from NMU, will present a history of UP beers at our Wednesday, April 15, Winter Outreach Program. Dr. Magnaghi, a distinguished historian with an appreciation of beer and its history, is the author of a book on the subject that covers beer from 17th century French fur traders' spruce beer to 21st century craft brews.
The presentation begins at 7:00 p.m. in the Heirman Center at Bay College. The program is without charge and open to the public.
We have rescheduled Karen Lindquist’s program "Escanaba Houses, 1937-1939: a Tour of Escanaba Houses during the Great Depression" for Wednesday, May 6. The March 18 date was canceled when we were buried in almost three feet of snow. What a storm!
We do not have a really good way to notify people about cancelations. On that occasion, the college was shut down, and we could not get to the museum to post on our website or answer telephone calls. (The museum parking lot was not plowed until this past week.) We posted the cancelation the day before the scheduled event on this page, and this is the best place to check. If we have a major storm (oh, please, no!), and schools are closed, check this page or the college’s site for information on program status.
