H arbor Springs A rea Historical Society 349 E. Main Street P.O. Box 812 Harbor Springs, MI 49740 -William Arthur Ward Part of the fun of our work at the historical society is the researching, reporting and retelling of various chapters in history. For ourselves, we started a new chapter in the book of the Historical Society just five years ago when we opened the Harbor Springs History Museum, which we plan to celebrate later this year. As in any great story, it’s the characters that make it come to life. For the historical society, one of our central characters in the museum chapter has been Melanie Meengs and her kids Conner and Molly shown Melanie Meengs, our director at one of the museum’s winter open house events. of development since 2005. With her background in development work, Melanie assisted our organization in its amazing growth from a $25,000 annual budget to a successful $1.9 million capital campaign. More importantly, Melanie made connections with people— from volunteers to members, donors to families just stopping by the museum. Melanie always shared a smile, offered her assistance and showed great care for both her work and our people. So it is with heartfelt gratitude that we send Melanie off on her next chapter: working alongside her husband Bill in his law office and being a great mom to Molly, 10, and Conner, 7, as they get more involved in various activities. We wish you and your family the best! We would also like to thank our outgoing board trustees whose terms on our board finished in September. This august group includes Jerry Burns, Melanie Fisher, Judy Meyer and Bruce Riley, all of whom have given generously of their time and talents to make the museum a reality. And you—however you came to hold this newsletter in your hands, whether visiting the museum for the first time on a beautiful fall day like today or as a long-time member, we thank you for your interest and support. You make it possible to maintain history’s home in Harbor Springs. With gratitude, (231) 526-9771 email: [email protected] HarborSpringsHistory.org web: Business Hours: Tuesday - Friday, 9 am - 5 pm Mary Cummings Executive Director News and Events Our people are the best! Each September, the Historical Society thanks its outstanding group of volunteers the best way we know how— we feed them great food. This September, we had our biggest crowd yet for our appreciation dinner with 45 volunteers, board members and staff in attendance. Our volunteers help us welcome museum visitors, plan events, prepare mailings, bake delicious cookies, keep the museum grounds looking tidy and help with projects great and small throughout the building. In short, they make things happen at the Historical Society! We couldn’t do it without them. If you are interested in giving just a few hours of your time a month, we can certainly find a volunteer job that matches your interests and abilities. With a great roster of events already planned for 2014, we have ample opportunities in store for you. In addition to the reward of giving of your time and talents while having fun, you always have next year’s volunteer appreciation dinner to look forward to! For more information, please call our office manager Tricia Anez at (231) 526-9771 and she will find just the right job for you. Tricia can also be reached by email at [email protected]. Welcome aboard, new HSAHS trustees! The Historical Society is pleased to welcome three new members to our dedicated Board of Trustees. Beginning their three-year terms this October are Cathy Brodhead-Lauer, Dennis Hug and Win Stebbins. Each of these incoming trustees has been involved with the historical society in various capacities over the years. In addition to volunteering in the archives for the last four years, Cathy Brodhead-Lauer worked for the City of Harbor Springs when City Hall was located in the “museum” building. Many of you may know Dennis who, along with his wife Suzanne, owns the Harbor Springs IGA. The Hugs have been supporters of the Historical Society and Dennis recently completed several years of service on the Chamber of Commerce board. Win Stebbins is a regular volunteer at the museum front desk during the summer, and his family has been a part of Roaring Brook history since 1902. We thank them all for their commitment to the Harbor Springs Area Historical Society and welcome them aboard. Save the Dates for 2014! On the Cover: This image of Jean Baptiste Assiginack comes from our newest exhibit, Turning Point: The War of 1812 from the Native American Perspective, which opened in June. The original oil painting was created by Good Hart artist Jane Cardinal to depict this locally born warrior who played an important role in the War of 1812. To learn more about Assiginack and the impact this conflict had on the Odawa people of Little Traverse Bay, please visit the exhibit which will be on display through May 2014. The complete exhibit text along with a bibliography is available for download on our website.

We appreciate their support. Collections Corner Second Annual Blessing of the Fleet and Summer White Party One of the main functions of an archivist is to gain control over a collection so that the institution knows what information is within their archives. When I began a year ago, many of our collections here were unprocessed and were not entered into our database so it was difficult for us to know what we have and where to find it. When going through our collections, I found many interesting things (all of which are now cataloged and on our website!), but one of the more intriguing is the newsletters made by the students at Harbor Springs High School during the 1920s. At this time, there was a student run newsletter called High School (or Hi-School in later years) Life and it had articles about sports, classes, and town events. It gives a good look at the lives of teenagers in Harbor Springs in the 1920s. We have newsletters beginning from 1921 and ending in 1927 with some gaps in between. As the volume numbers are sequential, it is probable that they were continuing with the newsletter throughout these years but we do not yet have these in our collections. Scanned issues of High School Life can be found on our website under Collections. -Talia Hofacker, HSAHS Archivist Wednesday, June 25, 2014 Thanks to all who made our first Blessing of the Fleet and Summer White Party a smashing success and the unofficial kickoff of Summer 2013. We are already looking ahead to 2014 and continuing this new tradition on Little Traverse Bay. Please save the date and help us welcome the 2014 summer season in style! (Photos courtesy Phillip Hutchinson) Harbor Springs Area Historical Society 6 News and Events Find us here: www.HarborSpringsHistory.org Redesigned HSAHS website includes online collections access museum opened in December 2008. The HSAHS board of trustees then identified computerized cataloging of its holdings as a primary goal. Through funding from the Barker Welfare Foundation, the Historical Society hired Talia Hofacker in June 2012 as its first professional archivist. Further grant support from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs last fall has sustained this part-time staff position. Talia holds a masters degree in library and information science from Wayne State University where she specialized in archives. In the last 16 months, Talia has cataloged well over 9,000 items and over 1,000 names in our PastPerfect software, most of which are searchable from your home computer. While our virtual door is always open, we also hope you will feel free to call us if you have any questions about the website. We are happy to help you with your search! Have you ever wondered what treasures are contained in the Historical Society’s collections? Now, we have an answer to your question. Last month, the Harbor Springs Area Historical Society officially launched its newly redesigned website. And while the site offers a fresh design, the real update is in the site’s content. Now, from the comfort of your own home, you can browse and search the Historical Society’s collections online. The website redesign was funded by a grant from the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation’s endowment fund as well as the Ann K. Irish Fund and the Tom and Susie Carruthers Fund. In addition, this grant also provided funding for on-site access to Ancestry.com (Library Edition) at the museum. The popular genealogy website is accessible at no cost through two dedicated computers on the museum’s second floor. With this new website, we have essentially opened the virtual doors to our collections. Now people can search for specific pieces of history relating to Harbor Springs or simply browse old photos and artifacts. It is the culmination of years of work by HSAHS staff and volunteers and has been made possible by several different funding agencies. Although the ground work of collecting started when the Historical Society was formed in 1990, professional care and expansion of the collections began in earnest when the 7 www.HarborSpringsHistory.org 2012 a n n u a l re p or t 2012: Bringing history to life 2012 Annual Report Thanks to your support, the year 2012 saw history coming to life in exciting new ways. The revival of our Shay Days event included a first-person interpreter as Ephraim Shay. The inventor’s life was marked by ingenuity and a sense of playfulness that extended beyond the world of trains. And what better way to share these facets than through Mr. Shay himself. We welcomed over 200 visitors during our two-day event including several descendants of the Shay family. Our 2012 Harbor History Talk series reached over 500 attendees with topics ranging from the War of 1812 to the State of Michigan’s 175th birthday. We were also honored to host the Harbor Springs premiere of WCMU’s “Into the North,” a 30-minute documentary exploring the early development of Little Traverse Bay as a resort destination. Visitors enjoyed not only the timely topics and entertaining speakers but also benefitted from the upgrades to our second-floor audio/video equipment. We were thrilled to share stories of this community’s history with over 150 students who visited the museum with school groups, with teachers, and through various summer programs. The Harbor Point Summer Camp program sent two groups of school-age kids who especially enjoyed learning about transportation and the early resort years in our temporary exhibit, A Delightful Destination: Little Traverse Bay at the Turn of the Century. This temporary exhibit was created by the Clarke Historical Library and included photographs and ephemera from our collections. During 2012 we also breathed new life into our collections with the addition of our first professional archivist, Talia Hofacker. By cataloging and organizing the contents of our archives, we could start sharing the stories that these important photos, papers and artifacts hold. Bringing history to life was made possible by the generous support of those listed here. Thank you for supporting history’s home in Harbor Springs.
