SDHC Tuesday Talk: Why the Great Lakes Are So Great w/Ashley Deming of the Michigan Maritime Museum
Presenter Ashley Demming, Director of Education and Administration for South Haven’s Michigan Maritime Museum offers a wide-angle view of the lakes’ growth as a commercial and recreational resource, looking at the people who have lived and worked on them and the vessels that plied their waters -- some of which now rest beneath them. She also will highlight current activities of the Maritime Museum and its on-water fleet of historic and replica vessels.
A summertime tradition since 1996, SDHC’s weekly Tuesday Talks present entertaining and informative insights into local community life and history throughout July and August. This program is sponsored by Doug and Debbie West, SDHC members and longtime Tuesday Talk supporters.
Saugatuck-Douglas History Center is supported in part by the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs (MCACA) and the National Endowment for the Arts.
