Summary

The October 2009 Beaver Beacon reported two Beaver Island Historical Society projects: preserving and potentially relocating a possible Mormon-era log cabin at Little Sand Bay, and assisting Dr. Deborah Rotman’s Notre Dame study of Irish immigrant homesteads.

Evidence limits

These are project plans and collaboration reports, not proof of a completed cabin move, archaeological field season, or settled interpretation of either site.
