Summary

The Beaver Island Historical Society’s 2021 Museum Week ran July 17–24 with in-person, online, and hybrid programming. The schedule included cemetery history, Arranmore connections, local music, an art show, natural and cultural-history talks, a shipwreck presentation, an author event, and a Kids Camp parade and pet show at the convent lawn. The Society also used a raffle to support reserved seating and a vacation prize, recruited art-show volunteers, and opened the week with a COA/Historical Society ice-cream social. The Society later canceled the second Arranmore Connections program because John Duffy was ill.
