Summary

The Beaver Island Historical Society received a $25,000 Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians grant for a period-style roof over two wooden fishing boats outside the Marine Museum. The grant enabled work that had begun in fall 2004 to resume and supported later plans for walls, wiring, and restoration training.

Evidence limits

The report documents the grant and intended work but not final construction, restoration completion, or grant reporting.
