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:Me Siirtolaiset | We Immigrants on display March 12-April 16
DESCRIPTION: America Beckons by Aura Jylhä-Vuorio\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFinlandia Art Gallery\n presents\n\n ME SIIRTOLAISET | WE IMMIGRANTS\n\n Selections from our art + archival collections\n\nMarch 12 – April 16\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, March 12\, 7-8:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n HANCOCK\, Mich. – Art\, artifacts\, and oral histories come together to tell stories of Finnish migration to the United States in the new exhibit “Me Siirtolaiset | We Immigrants\,” which opens March 12 at Finlandia Art Gallery. \nThe artwork in the exhibit is from the gallery’s permanent collection and includes the work of nine Finnish-American and Finnish artists – Ariadna Donner\, Gerald Immonen\, Aura Jylha-Vuorio\, Gladys Koski Holmes\, Desiree Koslin\, Jan Manniko\, Mabel Mustonen\, Onni Nordman and Tatu Vuorio. Joanna Chopp\, Finnish American Heritage Center archivist\, and Phyllis Fredendall\, a former director of the Finlandia Art Gallery\, will speak at the opening reception and contextualize the exhibit. \n“It’s wonderful to tie the archival collection and the art collection together in an exhibition that reflects the ways that art and objects tell a story of our time and the time they were made\,” Fredendall said.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Detail of Infrared View Ryiji #2 by Desiree Koslin\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Highlighted alongside the art and archival artifacts of immigration are excerpts of oral history interviews from the FAHC Oral History Collection. These histories\, digitized and available to researchers through the Finnish American Historical Archive website\, allow visitors to immerse themselves in the firsthand experiences of immigrants and their descendants. Interim Gallery Director Clare Zuraw sees these stories as an important part of this exhibit.\n“Oral histories offer us perspective on the experiences of the past while also helping us to understand the present. Art tells a visual story\, while recordings and transcripts of stories preserve the words and experiences of our ancestors\,” she said.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n An opening reception will take place at Finlandia Art Gallery in Hancock on Thursday\, March 12 from 7-8:30 p.m. with remarks by Phyllis Fredendall and Joanna Chopp beginning at 7:20 p.m. “Me Siirtolaiset | We Immigrants” will be on display through April 16 at the Finnish American Heritage Center\, located at 435 Quincy St. in Hancock. The gallery is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays.
