Summary

The April 2004 Beaver Beacon presented evolving ideas for Arranmore Park, a commemorative project connecting Beaver Island and Arranmore through family names, plantings, benches, signage, and possible stone-and-metal sculpture.

Evidence limits

The article documents preliminary ideas and a contact website, not completed design, funding, construction, or dedication.

  3. A project participant reports that Wolverine Power had signed the old power-plant site over to St. James Township, then documents a 50/50 raffle for the Arranmore Park Benefit Fund and a $437 winner. This is community/project correspondence, not a deed or township record; it supports progress beyond the 2004 concept but does not establish the transfer terms, construction, or dedication.
