Longyear photography on tap
MARQUETTE — The Marquette Regional History Center presents “The Cruise of the Abbie Returns: Photography and Adventure on Lake Superior.”
The program is 6:30 p.m. Nov. 15 at the center, located at 145 W. Spring St., Marquette.
In 1889 John M. Longyear set out on his boat to tour Lake Superior, 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 historical reenactor, Mike Brady who is Longyear’s great-great grandson. Come and enjoy humorous adventures from Longyear’s journal.
You may also enjoy our current special exhibit: “Exposing Photography,” featuring Longyear’s work among many others.
