SUMMARY:Cottages of Mackinac Island\, a Mackinac National Park: 150 Event
DESCRIPTION:Mackinac National Park was created in 1875. However\, the question of how the amenities of such a park would be paid for persisted. One solution was to grant leaseholds on the East and West Bluffs. Since the 1840s wealthy island visitors had expressed interest in constructing cottages on the bluffs of Mackinac Island. By 1882 Captain Edwin Sellers reported that more than seven leases had been executed\, and in 1885 the first summer cottages went up on the bluff. Join Chief Curator Craig Wilson for a walking tour of the East Bluff\, pointing out historic cottages\, and digging deeper into the unique relationship that dates back to Mackinac National Park. This walking tour begins at the Fort Mackinac Avenue of Flags and will travel about a mile along the East Bluff. This is a free program – donations welcome. #thisismackinac

SUMMARY:Artist-in-Residence Program with Composer Brad Sayles
DESCRIPTION:Composer Brad Sayles will focus on the art of audio capture for creating a sound scape encompassing music and effects…and more importantly how the two ultimately imitate and complement themselves. Sayles will plan to focus on the sounds of the island and show how they not only create an environmental perspective\, but also create a musical composition. This presentation would involve playing sound segments individually\, then altered and edited creating rhythm and melody. Sayles will conclude with the addition of mocked up instruments to combine with the sounds to create the final composition. This program will take place in the Station 256 Conference Room\, located above the Mackinac Island State Park Visitor’s Center. Admission is free.
