We would also like to acknowledge our AMAZING local partners:
In addition to the amazing traveling exhibit arriving as part of the Museum on Main Street, there will be an incredible wrap around exhibit featuring many local businesses and organizations that are innovative in their own right. We are so excited to shine a spotlight on our local organizations and grateful that they have partnered with us to enrich the experience and to help showcase how incredibly wonderful Benzie County is! In addition to the wrap around exhibit, several organizations are offering programs, either at the Mills Community House or at their home location. All of the programs offered throughout the 6 weeks that the Smithsonian is here are FREE to the public! This project is funded in part by Smithsonian, and Michigan Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. |
