FOURTH THURSDAY IN HISTORY:

Creating a Museum to Honor the Eagle Harbor Lifesavers
Join Mark Rowe, Keweenaw County Historical Society Trustee, for his
presentation "Creating a Museum to Honor the Eagle Harbor Lifesavers."
Intimately involved from the beginning of the Society's effort to establish
the new museum, Rowe will speak about the history of the U.S. Life-Saving
Service and U.S. Coast Guard at Station Eagle Harbor, the efforts to
preserve the U.S. Coast Guard boathouse building, and how the Society
acquired the boats and other apparatus needed to build the museum exhibits.
Come learn how these courageous men, who lived by the motto "you have to go
out, but you do not have to come back," will be honored.
This event will begin at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 28, 2010 at the
Houghton Township Hall in Eagle River, Michigan. It is part of the Fourth
Thursday in History speaker series sponsored by Keweenaw National
Historical Park. Additional support for this evening's program is being
provided by Houghton Township and the Keweenaw County Historical Society.
For more information about this and other programs in the Fourth Thursday
series, please call Keweenaw National Historical Park at 906/337-3168 or
