The Marquette Regional History Center (MRHC) is bringing lost buildings back to life as a way to raise money for the capital campaign on Friday, July 12 at the Marquette Regional History Center. Back by popular demand, MRHC Board President Jim Koski (Q107) and Photographer Jack Deo (Superior View) are teaming up to share pictures and stories of Marquette’s lost buildings, ranging from churches and schools to magnificent architecture. “Since our show in January, a lot of people have shared stories of their favorite “Lost Buildings” with me, so we’ll tell some of those. We’ll also have a few new “Lost Buildings”, including another victim of “The Great Sandstone Purge.” Not only that, but we’ll take advantage of our outdoor location to present a virtual “tour” of the History Center’s neighborhood.” said Jim Koski. Attendees can grab a delicious bite to eat from the Dia de Los Tacos mobile food truck and enjoy a relaxed evening on the History Center’s green space. Tickets are $10 per person in advance and can be purchased at Spring and Third, the museum store or online at www.marquettehistory.org. Tickets will also be available at the door for $12. Bring your own seating. The lawn opens at 9:30pm and the show begins at 10:00. In the case of inclement weather the program will be held indoors. The event is sponsored by VAST.
The Marquette Regional History Center believes the preservation of the cultural and physical history of our area brings an understanding to the past and present, and provides a guide for the future. The Marquette Regional History Center not only maintains exhibits, artifacts and a research library, it is a forum for engaging the community and creating links between people.
