Preserve America Grant to Develop Shoreline Heritage Route
The Muskegon Chronicle reports that an $80,000 federal Preserve America grant to Michigan's State Historic Preservation Office will help develop a 170-mile historic route along the Lake Michigan shoreline from the Indiana state line to Ludington. One of the first activities will be a survey of historically significant attractions and features in each community. State officials will look for sites related to exploration and settlement, maritime heritage, lumbering, architecture, agriculture and ethnic heritage. Targetted communities include Grand Haven, Muskegon, Whitehall, Montague, Pentwater and Ludington and the state preservation office will help each community to develop a heritage tourism strategy to jointly market the region as a place of significant historic attractions.
