Summary

The Beaver Island Historical Society’s 38th annual Museum Week program ran July 14–21, 2018. The schedule combined historical interpretation, natural-history field trips, music, arts, children’s activities, and community events, with programming at sites across the island.

The Society’s updates record a cancellation and replacement: L.J. Denemy’s Anishinaabe culture and Beaver Island heritage presentation replaced the Frank Mays event.
