| Exhibit Exploring Cable's Bay and Beaver Island Opens at NMU | ||
| LANSING – The Beaumier Upper Peninsula Heritage Center and Department of Sociology and Social Work at Northern Michigan University (NMU), opened a new exhibit on May 3 exploring Cable’s Bay and Beaver Island. The exhibition is made possible in part from a $13,659 major grant award from the Michigan Humanities Council. “Scattered to the Winds: the Vanished Community of Cable’s Bay and Beaver Island,” tells the story of Cable’s Bay and Beaver Island stories pieced together from artifacts and historical accounts. The exhibit explores the history and mystery of Beaver Island and how everyday items discarded or lost are used to interpret the past. Students in the NMU Department of Sociology’s Museum Studies II classes contributed to the creation, design and planning of the exhibition, which showcases artifacts and data collected during the NMU archaeology field school excavations conducted on Beaver Island in 2010-11. Students held an excavation at Cable’s Bay, an early fishing village, in 2010. The village was briefly occupied from 1838-58 by fishermen and their families; traders, Native American women, and Mormons. This village holds stories of hardship, forced exodus and eventual failure. Burke’s Farm, on Beaver Island, is another site students investigated during their dig. The early farmstead was occupied from 1852-56 by Mormon farmers who created the cabin and barn from timber on the property. Shortly after a forced exodus, the farmstead became owned by Irish immigrants, and later by Euro-American families. The exhibit will be open at the Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center, 105 Cohodas Hall at NMU, through September. In May, the Center will be open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. From June through August, the Center will be open Monday through Thursday, and Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information on the exhibit, please call the Heritage Center at (906) 227-3212 or e-mail heritage@nmu.edu. About the Michigan Humanities CouncilThe Michigan Humanities Council is a private, nonprofit organization created to foster a better understanding of each other and our state through local cultural, historical and literary experiences for all. The Council was founded in 1974 and is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities and individual donors.
