WELCOME TO THE GITCHE GUMEE MUSEUM WEB PAGE!
April 2008 Update
Early this month winter hung on with two more blizzards. I left on April 18th to conduct three Gitche Gumee Gatherings down state. Thanks to Kim Amthor, Gerald and Jill Phillips (and their daughter Erin), and my sister, Diana Mavis -- all three were a success!
When I left Grand Marais, the ice on Sable Lake was thick and intact. There were still eight foot drifts along my driveway, a foot of snow in the open areas, icebergs along the shore, and three feet of snow in the woods. I arrived back home nine days later to Spring. In that short period of time, nearly all the snow melted and the ice on and along the lakes completely disappeared! Even my grass is already green!
Now that the spring shows and Gitche Gumee Gatherings are completed, I will turn my attention to the museum and making agate products. As usual, the museum will reopen the Thursday of Memorial Day weekend, May 29th. The museum hours that weekend will be Thursday-Sunday from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. In June and September, the hours will be Thursday-Saturday from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. The summer hours in July and August will be Monday-Saturday from 1:00 to 8:00 pm, and Sunday from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. With advance notice, the museum is also open by appointment.
Happy Spring!
