Summary
The Beaver Island Historical Society reported approximately 1,325 museum visitors and said it had completed a new roof and front-porch repairs at the Protar House by the August–September 1971 Beaver Beacon. The Society also said more work, including caulking and summer-kitchen repairs, remained.
Evidence and limits
This event extends the 1970 preservation campaign and the earlier roof plan into a reported repair completion. The source does not identify the contractor, cost, exact date, or a final architectural survey, so broader restoration is not inferred.
