This lecture traces the unfolding conflict in the Middle East over the past two and a half years, examining how each development shaped the next. Drawing on deep historical roots, it explores why these disputes have proved so enduring, so emotionally wrought and so hard to end.

Champion freediver spearfisher Kimi Werner is making her way across the Great Lakes, and Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary is her first stop!

Join us on Thursday, July 2, at 6:00 p.m. at the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center in downtown Alpena for a special evening with this Hawaii native, whose work brings together adventure, sustainable fishing, conservation, and food.

Experience Summer with Us!

American Tree is an exhibit that explores the role trees played in the formation of the United States 250 years ago — and the role trees will play moving forward into this nation’s next 250 years. This exhibition features the work of 28 artists. Set in Glen Arbor — named Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in February 2026 — the exhibit celebrates trees in a wide variety of media, styles, and materials. It interprets the pivotal role trees played in the history of this nation.

At the same time, American Tree is an exhibition that asks what our relationship with the forests and woodlands looks like today? Is it purely transactional and commercial? Is there respite and renewal to be found in the woods? And what is our blueprint for the forest ecosystem in the next two centuries? What does a United State of Trees look like? Why should we care?

Monday thru Friday: 9am – 3pm
Saturday: 12pm – 4pm
Sunday: 12pm – 4pm
