Thank you!
Thank you to the nearly 400 people who attended one or more of the Museum’s presentations during 2025.

Fort Sinclair History — The origins of St. Clair and Michigan Lumbering
Join historian Charles Homberg for an in depth look at the deep history of St. Clair as he takes you inside the little known facts about the fort structure and the motivation of its builder, Lt. Patrick Sinclair. See how the fort’s lumber mill became a signal for the Michigan lumber boom that was to follow for nearly 100 years.
