The Marquette Regional History Center presents:
The Cruise of the Abbie Returns: Photography and Adventure on Lake Superior
Wednesday, November 15th, 2023 at 6:30 p.m. at the Marquette Regional History Center
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 a historical reenactor. 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.
