I Want To Visit A Museum But It’s Closed
As most of us know, Beaver Island is not only a popular vacation spot in the summer, but during the ‘shoulder season’ as well. The Historical Society would love to open the museums for a longer time period each year, but many of our docents are snowbirds who aren’t available during the shoulder season. To help accommodate all the off-season requests to see our museums, we are trying something new—private museum tours off-season or in the evening.

Tours may be scheduled for times when the museums are closed. Or, you and your friends may want a customized tour in the evening during our busy season. For $10 per person per museum a docent or one of our paid staff will give you a private museum visit. Our goal is to work around your time frame and arrange a tour within 24 hours, if not sooner.

We are eager to share our museums with the public and are excited to offer this new opportunity. To find out more or to schedule a private tour go to our website and search ‘tours’. You can schedule and pay for your tour on-line. Someone will contact you ASAP to confirm. Call the office with questions or if you don’t have on-line access, 231-448-2254 M-F 9am-5pm.

The $25 tours are targeted for the upcoming conferences and is a special group tour price that includes all museum properties.
