It was made a state park in 1988. The railroad parallels much of the West Michigan Pike route but is most visible between Whitehall and Shelby. New Era New Era was found in 1878 by a group of Dutch that had been living in Montague serving as mill hands. They wanted to return to an agrarian lifestyle and purchased farms and planted peach orchards. In 1947, there were eighty-five Dutch families in New Era. 4856 Oceana, New Era New Era Canning Company The New Era Canning Company was established in 1910 by Edward P. Ray, a Norwegian immigrant who purchased a fruit farm in New Era. Ray grew raspberries, a delicate fruit that is difficult to transport in hot weather. Today, the plant is still owned by the Ray family and processes green beans, apples, and asparagus.

New Era is characterized by a number of vernacular concrete block buildings. Prior to 1900, concrete was not a common building material for residential or commercial structures. Experimentation, testing and the development of standards for cement and additives in the late 19th century, led to the use of concrete a strong reliable building material after the turn of the century. Concrete was also considered to be fireproof, an important consideration as many communities suffered devastating fires that burned blocks of their wooden buildings Oceana County Historic Resource Survey 200 in the late nineteenth century.

ONLY THE RIVER REMAINS: HISTORY AND MEMORY OF THE EASTLAND DISASTER IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION, 1915 – 2015 Caitlyn Perry Dial, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2016 On July 24, 1915, the passenger boat Eastland capsized while docked in the Chicago River, killing 844 of its 2,500 passengers. The Eastland Disaster remains the greatest loss-of-life tragedy on the Great Lakes. Using museum exhibits, government documents, trial transcripts, period newspapers, oral interviews, images, ephemera, and popular culture materials, this study examines the century after the disaster in terms of the place the Eastland has held in regional and national public memory. For much of that period, the public memory of the tragedy had been lost, but private memories survived through storytelling within the families of survivors, rescuers, and victims.

  • Connecting to Collections Survey Results from Michigan's Collecting
    Stewarding Michigan’s Treasures: Connecting to Collections Survey Results from Michigan’s Collecting Institutions A Report by Michigan Museums Association April 2012 Made possible through the generous support of: Executive Summary Connecting to Collections Survey Michigan Museums Association (MMA) spearheaded this state-wide survey of Michigan’s 1,513 collecting institutions, querying them regarding the state of the documentation, accessibility, and care of artifacts and documents held in trust. Surveys were sent to libraries and archives (which primarily collect books and paper documents) and art, science and history museums, aquaria, botanical gardens, historic sites, zoos, and genealogical and historical societies (which primarily collect three-dimensional artifacts or specimens). The survey responses will inform MMA and its partners as they develop resources that will support institutions in their move toward best practice in collections management and care. 458 institutions institutions responded to the survey, resulting in about a 30% return rate. The surveys revealed these institutions’ hard work and dedication but also pinpointed challenges: Michigan has many small institutions with significant staff and funding constraints. Nearly 20% have budgets of less than $10,000 and 30% have no full-time professional staff. Thus, MMA and partners must provide affordable training and economical suggestions for implementation of best practices in collections management and care. The responding institutions hold at least 40 million artifacts and about 90,000 linear (shelf) feet of historical documents in trust for the people of this state. The majority of institutions provide primary access to their collections through site visits. Researchers who seek images and additional information may not get these from a visit.

  • Great Lakes Museums
    GreatGreat LakesLakes MuseumsMuseums Around the Great Lakes, we are blessed with a wide variety of museums devoted to preserving and caring for our historical, scientific, artistic and cultural heritage. From large, nationally sponsored institutions to small community museums, there is a wealth of information and artifacts that can truly capture your imagination. As you cruise these waters, take time to investigate these gems. (And they make a great trip by car too!). This list is organized by lake. It is not exhaustive. There are many more fine community museums in the towns and villages that dot the coastline of the Great Lakes. If you see one that you think should be added, by all means send me a note. I will be happy to update this list. For each entry, I have included only its name, the relevant port and a website if they have one. Where useful, I have also included a brief note about each. Enjoy! Michael Leahy, Publisher LAKE ONTARIO HMCS Haida Hanilton, ON hmcshaida.com HMCS Haida is the last surviving Tribal Class destroyer from WWII.
