Summary

The May 2010 Beacon reported that the Beaver Island Historical Society’s planned Marine Museum upgrade took another step during the last week of April. The work concerned the upper level of the former Shing Martin net shed and was being prepared for a grand opening. In July 2011, the Society reported that the makeover was progressing through volunteer labor while interview recordings were being digitized with help from two Notre Dame interns.
