National Museum of the Great Lakes Exhibit

In partnership with the Lakeside Wooden Boat Show, the National Museum of the Great Lakes will be on-site July 12-14 with an interactive exhibit for all ages. The exhibit will be displayed under the tent on the Hotel Lakeside lawn from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 12-4 p.m. Sunday during the boat show.

The museum, located in Toledo, tells the awe-inspiring stories of our Great Lakes through breathtaking photography, over 300 incredible artifacts and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits.

The tales told have spanned hundreds of years, from the fur trader in the 1600s and the underground railroad operators in the 1800s, to the rum runners in the 1900s and the sailors of the thousand-footers sailing today.
