Hello From The Lore

This August, we will hold our 22^nd annual “Gathering”. The Gathering is a weekend celebration where deserving recipients are inducted into our Hall of Fame. In 2011 we inducted 16 individuals. The Great Lakes Lore Maritime Museum is the only museum on the entire Great Lakes that honors those who made their livings on the Lakes. We are very proud of that distinction! The festivities will commence at 1:00PM on Friday, August 17, 2012, with a tour through the world’s largest Limestone quarry. Friday evening will be very entertaining, as Robert McGreevy, Marine Artist and Historian, will give a presentation about the Lakes. On Saturday, August 18, 2012,, we will conduct the Induction ceremony, following the luncheon. See the details in the Events section of this web site.

If you or someone you know would like to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, see the form on this web site for details. We would be more than happy to help you by answering any questions you may have.

We will conduct our annual bell ringing ceremonies to honor the men who died while serving on the Great Lakes. Please see the Events section of this web site for dates and times. We will ring in honor of those from the SS Cedarville, Carl D. Bradley, Daniel J. Morrell and the Edmund Fitzgerald.

We ask you to please consider our museum as you travel the great state of Michigan. We are on the Sunrise side of the state and offer history like no other museum. We are a Not for Profit museum and count on memberships to keep us going. Please consider a membership for you or a loved one. Forms can be found in this web site. We gratefully accept monetary donations (tax deductible) and nautical historical items as well.

Have a wonderful 2012 and come to see us. Come and see where people are honored for their service to the Great Lakes. Great Lakes Lore Maritime Museum, 367 No. 3^rd St., Rogers City, Michigan 49779. Phone us at 989-734-0706.
