Leelanau Maritime History Festival this Saturday!

The Glen Arbor Sun shares that the Leelanau Historical Society invites you to join them for third annual Leelanau Maritime History Festival this Saturday from 10-3pm.

This year’s festival also marks the 19th annual LIVE exhibit “Wood Boats on the Wall.” Stroll the boardwalk along the Leland River to view classic wooden boats from around the region beginning at 10am, and Chris-Craft, Century, Garwood and other vintage watercrafts will be present with their captains for viewing and questions. The family-friendly festival offers free museum admission, featuring the “Shipwrecks of the Manitou Passage” Exhibit, lighthouse and ship models, Lighthouse Keeper Interpretation, and displays by area nonprofits and organizations whose missions are to preserve and share the region’s maritime culture, past and present.
