Summary
The September 2011 Beacon reports that the Beaver Island Historical Society discussed allowing interested people to stay in the Protar Home for a week, living without running water or electricity, dressing as Protar did, and explaining his vision of life to visitors. The audience was initially skeptical but ultimately considered the idea worthy of further consideration.
Evidence limits
This is a proposal reported from an annual meeting, not evidence that the program was adopted, that a visitor stayed there, or that the building was altered for the purpose.
