Museum Events for 2017Cracker Barrel: Country Schools
Long after the establishment of Arcadia High School in 1910, country schools, usually one-room, were still much needed, and they flourished in Manistee and Benzie Counties. We have area citizens who were even attending them into the 1950s. In August, we plan to bring a few of these citizens together in a Cracker Barrel session and have them convey just what it was like to attend and possibly teach in a country, one-room school. This was a time when citizenship, practical problem solving, and values were an important part of the school curricula. Join us. Sunday August 27, 2017 at 7 pm Arcadia Daze – July 21-23, 2017On Saturday, the Museum will open early, and the Museum Store will have a booth outside weather permitting. On Sunday, the Historical Society will have a float in the parade. Museum ToursDo you have a group that would like to tour the museum? Contact us to set up a date and time.
