Marilla, Memories of a Century Past

 —  —

Marilla Museum and Pioneer Place, 9991 Marilla Rd., Copemish, MI 49625

Marilla Museum features a log cabin and historical displays from the logging and farming days of northern Michigan, set in a pleasant rural area. I've been invited to give a hammered dulcimer performance/presentation starting at 1:45 PM as part of a larger event that also features author and historian Dana Johnson presenting the history of Marilla and the lost and forgotten villages of Manistee County. The cabin and displays will be open for viewing, and you're encouraged to come at 1:00 to see the displays. Entrance will be by small admission fee/donation. I'll have my CDs available for sale as well.
