Summary
The Beaver Island Historical Society used the June 1988 Beaver Beacon to seek funds for preliminary study and protection of the reported west-side stone circle and associated features. The appeal says Professor Earl Prahle planned to investigate the site and that archaeological guidance was needed before road and development work proceeded.
Evidence limits
The appeal documents an intended study and fundraising need, not the amount raised, the study’s results, or a final preservation decision.
