Summary
The Beaver Island Historical Society reported that the Museum opened a week early in 1974 because of special-visit requests. It needed at least two more volunteers, while the Print Shop received a porch and picket fence and the old jail was placed on a cement slab, with a roof and painting planned.
Evidence and limits
This is a newspaper progress report, not a visitor register, volunteer roster, construction log, or proof that every planned improvement was completed. The later August improvement report is kept as a follow-up.
