There is the first-ever groomer, a chair from the first chair lift, many old skis of varying designs, and a few displays illustrating skiing's history. I recently made a nice afternoon for the kids out of combining a visit to this museum with visits to the nearby Iron Industry Museum and the NMU Art Museum in Marquette. Three museums and an early dinner made for a nice afternoon. I hadn't planned on the _early_ dinner, but the kids blasted through all three museums pretty darn fast :-). I would have rated the Hall of Fame at four stars except for one thing: half the upper floor was empty of exhibits on my recent visit. The big empty space lent a sort of forlorn feeling to the visit, and it was a disappointment to come out at the top of the stairs and find so little to see.

There is a large viewing deck that can be accessed with a short walk & a some stairs. If you're there when the sun sets, stick around for another half hour to see the REAL show. (We moved on right at sunset, to catch it from a different spot we'd planned.) Expect to encounter friendly locals who happily share info on the area & tips for best views. This stop is one you could spend a bit of time at & definitely charge the phone or bring a camera. You will have, in addition to the light house, great lake views with sandy shores & beach grass, plus amazing rock beach on the other side of the lighthouse. The trail isn't too difficult, tho stairs aren't the best. Be sure to check out the displays & signage swallowed by the trees. It's absolutely lovely.

If it's sunny and over 80, it's too hot to work from the van so I've been spending time in public libraries like this one. This library is free, it's comfortable and it's clean. They have a free wifi that works very well and it's quiet enough that I can sneak in an occasional Zoom meeting without disturbing anyone. Free parking, too! You do not need to be a local resident to use the library, you only need to be a local resident if you're borrowing materials. [Review 17915 overall - 322 in Michigan - 1436 of 2022.]

LOVED the Michigan Reference section upstairs, and thought it was cool that they still use some really old tables and chairs in the nonfiction section! We thought that the bell collection is cool. Beautifully maintained inside; clean restrooms; quiet place to read with great views of Lake Superior upstairs. Reasons I only gave this a 4 star is that not a single staff member greeted us or asked if we needed help. I get that this is a touristy area and they're probably used to people just wandering through, or using the bathrooms, but I always appreciate being welcomed. I myself am a librarian and understand the value of welcoming the community in!
