Thanks for the heads up on this Mark. My wife loves early indian photo
images. We plan on attending this week.
Detroit to Muskegon is about 190 miles, mostly expressway.

I was wondering because the old ferry took several hours to cross the
lake - but the new express ferry does it in 2.5 hours. It probably works
out to longer considering time to load the cars etc.
Muskegon is about 4 hours form Chicago and 3 hours from Detroit, doable as
a day trip or overnight.

Ummm… that’s 3 1/2 hours each way.
Remind me never to take a long ferry ride on your advice!
Cheers,

Thanks Mark! I will do it.
And for those on the other side of Lake Michigan, note that Muskegon is
a fairly short ferry ride from Milwaukee…

I went to Muskegon Michigan today to see an exhibit of Edwin S Curtis's
North American Indian prints. It was an excellent and massive exhibit,
well worth a visit. I doubt that many PDMLer's are nearby, but in case
anyone is passing that way...
All 723 of Curtis' prints were on display - the full set. The museum
believes this is the first time the entire set has been displayed. I
wondered how a fairly small museum got this exhibit and where it would
go next. As it turns out the Muskegon public library was one of the
200+ subscribers to the original project and received the books and
photogravure prints as they were published. A docent told me that at
this time there were no plans to travel the show.
My only complaint - 723 prints plus supplemental displays is a bit
overwhelming - I plan another visit or two over the summer.
Here are a few cell phone snaps of some of the exhibits:
