“Snowshoeing has a long history as a mode of transportation in the snowy Upper Peninsula,” said museum historian Troy Henderson. “This workshop celebrates that history and encourages participants to explore our winter landscape."
The Iron Industry Museum is now open year-round and features a new network of trails on the museum grounds.
The workshop fee is $175 per person and includes all materials (frames, lacings and bindings) and a $25 non-refundable reservation fee. (The $25 reservation fee is due at time of registration; the remaining $150 is not due until the day of class.)
Space is limited and reservations are required. The registration deadline is Monday, Nov. 25, and the registration form can be found online at www.michigan.gov/ironindustrymuseum. For more information about the class or reservations, contact Troy Henderson at 906-475-7857 or hendersont7@michigan.gov.
