Summary
Beaver Island Museum Week ran from July 21 through July 26, 2014. The printed program combined Historical Society presentations, Music on the Porch, antiques appraisal, an Art Show, afternoon talks, a Print Shop expansion presentation, Alan Lomax-related music, and openings of the Protar Home.
The September Beaver Beacon reports that the program took place and describes several of its presentations. A Historical Society organizer’s forum notices provide a contemporaneous reminder about the antiques-appraisal event.
