A Full Fall of Activities at the Lakeshore Museum Center in Muskegon

In Muskegon, we're fortunate in the fact that the Lakeshore Museum Center is spread out into several different and very interesting locations.  There is the Lakeshore Museum Center on Clay, The Hackley and Hume Homes Downtown, The Fire barn, The Scolnik House and of course the Michigan's Heritage Park up in Whitehall.  The thing is, with so many locations keeping track of all the goings on might be a little difficult.





This Fall is full of things to do and we've got them all lined up here for you today!

September 15th is Family Fun Night at the Lakeshore Museum Center on Clay Avenue.  From 5:30-7:30 bring everyone out for a special visit from the Blanford Nature Center who will be bringing some live animals for a meet and greet.  Also, outside the museum there will be the Safari Club International's Michigan Chapter setting up their Sensory Safari.  You'll find wildlife themed stations throughout the museum, a chance to get hands on with skulls and furs..animal track art and more!  It's fun for everyone.  September 21st The Hackley and Hume Homes All Access Tour!  Want to see the basement and attic?  Wonder what's in the closet?  Wanna know what the view from the balcony is like or maybe look under the bed?  These homes are 120 year old and not everyone gets to see all of the in's and out's on the regular visit.  This is a pretty special tour and getting tickets in advance is probably a good idea for the event.

Lumber Barons' Ball 2017

September 23rd.... it's the big one.  The Lakeshore Museum Center hosts one big fund raiser yearly and it's the Lumber Barons' Ball!  Held at the Hackley Administration Building this gala affair is the must attend event for the community to support our wonderful museum.  This year along with the gala, you'll find lots of experiential opportunities to bid on.

I got together with Joni Dorsett at the Lakeshore Museum Center to talk about all of it, take a listen to our chat below.

We're very lucky to have such a multifaceted and diverse museum here in town.  The programming is appealing to all ages and the settings are fabulous.  If you're out for a tour or maybe a Halloween haunt, or maybe you'd just like to support a vital part of the community.  Plan a day to spend at the Lakeshore Museum Center soon.  Their Website is linked below!
