Program on Longyear set
MARQUETTTE — A program on John M. Longyear wil be presented at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 15 at the Marquette Regional History Center.
In 1889 John M. Longyear set out on his boat to tour Lake Superior to do a little fishing, and explore Isle Royale. He documented it all and presented his daughter Abby with a bound book of the incredible trip.
His collection of photographs impresses to this day and will be featured in the presentation. Longyear will be portrayed by a historical reenactor. The public is invited to enjoy humorous adventures from Longyear’s journal.
They may also enjoy the MRHC’s current special exhibit: Exposing Photography, featuring Longyear’s work among many others.
