SUMMARY:The Marquette Regional History Center presents the Special Exhibit: The U.P. Through 250 Artifacts
DESCRIPTION:February 23\, 2026-January 2\, 2027 \nThis exhibit showcases two hundred and fifty artifacts\, photographs\, and documents from our permanent collections. These objects connect local history to the national story while commemorating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. \nMichigan’s Upper Peninsula has often seemed remote from the rest of the country. However\, the themes and movements of U.S. history can be seen here as well\, especially since the War of 1812. When the country braced for the Civil War\, U.P. iron miners raced to uncover iron for the Union army’s railroads and ammunitions. When labor movements exploded following World War II\, Ishpeming’s Gossard garment factory went on strike for better wages. Objects rarely on display include the medal awarded to a local Spanish American War nurse and a hand sewn battle flag brought home by a soldier from the War of 1812.  Visit marquettehistory.org or call 906.226.3571 for more info.

SUMMARY:Traveling Exhibition "The Holocaust:  History\, Memory & Michigan Voices"
DESCRIPTION:“The Holocaust: History\, Memory & Michigan Voices\,” a new traveling exhibition created by the Zekelman Holocaust Center in Farmington Hills\, is on display at Northern Michigan University’s Olson Library through April 30. An opening reception is scheduled at 4 p.m. Monday\, March 9\, in the Library Atrium. A smaller exhibit on art as resistance is also featured. \n  \n“In many ways\, the traveling exhibition is a condensed\, portable version of the Zekelman Center\,” said Ryan Bond\, an NMU staff member who teaches a history of the Holocaust class and is a member of the center. “The content there used to be oriented more toward the Nazi perpetrators\, but now the focus has shifted to victims’ and survivors’ personal stories—specifically\, Michigan survivors. I just learned that the Holocaust survivors who came to this state at some point after the war numbered at least 4\,000. That surprised me; I had no idea it was that many.” \n  \nWhen he taught the course in fall 2024\, Bond wanted to do something beyond his classroom that would benefit the broader NMU and Marquette-area communities. He invited a guest to campus whose mother was a Holocaust survivor. She stayed for three days\, visited six other classrooms\, presented a workshop for educators and participated in two full-film screenings of a documentary about her mother. \n  \nThis past October\, three Zekelman Center staff members came to NMU to give class presentations. That visit inspired Bond to propose bringing a traveling exhibit to campus. \n  \n“The Holocaust is an important topic that shouldn’t just be confined to my classroom\,” he said. “The center is very outreach- and teacher-oriented\, and because we can’t readily bring students there\, it made sense to collaborate and find a way to bring the center to us.” \n  \nBond secured support for the idea from Olson Library Director Emera Bridger Wilson and Dean of Library and Instructional Support Leslie Warren. \n“Olson Library is excited to host this exhibit\, the first of what we hope are many now that we are in our renovated spaces\,” Bridger Wilson said. “This exhibit also complements our Holocaust and Genocide Studies collection. We hope that people are made more aware of the collection through programming such as this.” \n“It was exciting to unpack three huge shipping crates and collaborate with colleagues from the library and history students who volunteered to set up the main exhibit and the art installation\,” said History Professor Kathryn Johnson\, who was part of the team that made it happen. \n  \nSenior history major Alexis Hall is helping to coordinate the exhibit and related events via an internship. Bond says he is in conversations with the Zekelman Center about possible summer internship opportunities in Farmington Hills for NMU students. \n  \nTo coincide with the display\, three Zekelman Center educators will be on campus March 25-26 for classroom presentations for history and other disciplines. They will also deliver a free full-day workshop for area teachers on using content from the exhibit and the center in their classes. Teachers can earn SCECHs or NMU graduate credit for attending. \n  \nPreservice secondary social studies teachers are also invited to the workshop. Johnson said it will be an important learning experience for them to collaborate with current teachers in a meaningful content-specific professional development workshop. \n  \nRick Schaffner from the center will present “Reclaiming Power Through Resilience and Resistance” as part of NMU’s UNITED Conference from 1:15-2:30 p.m. Wednesday\, March 25\, in the Northern Center Ballrooms. \n  \nFounded in 1984\, the Zekelman Center is the only Holocaust museum in Michigan. Its newly renovated museum is complemented by a research and library archive\, special exhibit galleries\, educational workshops and public programming. Learn more at holocaustcenter.org.

SUMMARY:Swimming Suffragettes: The Evolution & Revolution in Women's Bathing Suits.
DESCRIPTION:A beachside atmosphere will fill the Marquette Regional History Center on April 22\, 2026\, as the Marquette County League of Women Voters hosts its spring fundraiser: “Swimming Suffragettes: The Evolution and Revolution in Women’s Bathing Suits.” Carrie Moon-Dupree\, Director of Development for the Michigan League\, has been a longtime collector of vintage women’s swimsuits and has observed that their evolution parallels the progress of women’s rights. Tasty finger foods and luscious drinks will welcome guests at 5:30 p.m.\, and displays of the History Center’s vintage suits\, along with photos of League members’ relatives in suits from their time\, will entertain everyone until the presentation begins at 6:00 p.m. Members of the NMU Women’s Swim Team will help showcase the vintage suit collection as Moon-Dupree shares the lively story of how they relate to women’s evolving civil rights. Afterwards\, Heidi Voigt\, the coach of the NMU Women’s Swim Team\, will demonstrate how women’s competitive swimwear has changed over the years as women’s participation in the sport has increased. There will be time for questions for both speakers\, followed by some socializing over food and drinks. \n  \nTickets are now available for purchase at the Marquette Regional History Center office and online at www.marquettehistory.org/things-to-do for $45 for adults\, with free entry for young children.
