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:Beaumier Center Highlights Mary Jayne Hallifax's Photography
DESCRIPTION:exhibition opens July 9 and will be on display through Oct. 3 \nThe Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center \nThe Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center at NMU will open a new exhibition July 9 that features the work of one of the U.P.’s most prolific photographers. It is titled “Munising in Black & White: The Photographs of Mary Jayne Hallifax.” She was an in-demand commercial photographer who also captured numerous candid images of her hometown over seven decades. \nHallifax died in 2025 at the age of 96 and donated many of her original negatives to photograph collector Jack Deo\, who is loaning 60 images to the Beaumier Center for the exhibit. They represent a tiny fragment of her catalog and focus specifically on the 1950s and 1960s\, depicting community events\, street scenes\, school activities and the lives of people in the community.  \nA lifelong Munising resident\, Mary Jayne (Shampine) Hallifax was a 1946 graduate of W.G. Mather High School. While working on the school’s yearbook\, she was asked by the school secretary to take\, help develop and print photographs\, and from that her lifelong love with photography began. \nAfter she graduated and started working\, Mary Jayne spent her nights taking photos and developing them. It became such a passion that she gave up her job at People’s State Bank to pursue photography full time. She soon became Munising’s most in demand commercial photographer\, especially for weddings and senior photos. However\, she also loved just wandering the streets of Munising taking candid photos of people and the general “goings-on” in the community. She even took photos for the Michigan State Police crime lab. \nIn 1948\, Mary Jayne married Richard Hallifax\, and the pair worked on photography together. He did much of the film developing and press work\, while she focused on making prints\, and her portraiture studio work with families\, wedding parties and graduating students. During her career with newspaper work and even into retirement\, she photographed seven Michigan governors on their trips to Munising: G. Mennen “Soapy” Williams\, John Swainson\, George Romney\, William Milliken\, James Blanchard\, John Engler and Rick Snyder.  \nUp until her 95th birthday\, she had a weekly column “All About Town with Mary Jayne” or “Down Memory Lane in Alger County” for the Marquette Mining Journal and years earlier for the Munising News. \nThe exhibition will be on display through Oct. 3 at the Beaumier Center’s gallery in 223 Harden Hall at NMU. The center’s summer hours are noon to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. It is free and open to the public.  \n

SUMMARY:Powerful Tools for Caregivers Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, August 13 through September 17\, 2026\, from 1:30-3:00 pm EST\, \nIshpeming Senior Center\, 121 Greenwood Street\, Ishpeming.  \n  \nPowerful Tools for Caregivers\, a six-week in-person workshop\, designed for the non-professional\, informal family caregiver\, will be held on Thursdays\, August 13 through September 17\, 2026\, from 1:30-3:00 pm EST\, at the Ishpeming Senior Center\, 121 Greenwood Street\, Ishpeming.  \nResearch studies find high rates of depression and anxiety among caregivers and increased vulnerability to health problems. Caregivers frequently cite restriction of personal activities and social life as problems. In addition\, caregivers often feel a lack of control over events and a sense of powerlessness which can have a significant negative impact on their physical and emotional health. The Powerful Tools for Caregivers program will provide caregivers tools to help reduce stress and increase relaxation\, make tough decisions\, reduce guilt\, anger and depression\, communicate effectively\, set goals and problem solve\, and take better care of themselves while caring for a relative or friend. Caregivers will benefit from the workshop whether they are helping a parent\, spouse\, or friend living at home\, in long-term care or across the country. The workshop focuses on self-care for the caregiver\, not on specific diseases or hands-on caregiving. \nPowerful Tools for Caregivers is offered by Upper Peninsula Commission for Area Progress (UPCAP) in partnership with Lake Superior Life Care and Hospice. There is no charge for this workshop\, but registration is required. Class size is limited. \nTo register\, visit www.upcap.org (click on Events) or call 2-1-1 Monday through Friday\, 8 am to 4 pm for assistance. Registration ends when the class is full or on August 3. \n

SUMMARY:Powerful Tools for Caregivers Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, August 13 through September 17\, 2026\, from 1:30-3:00 pm EST\, \nIshpeming Senior Center\, 121 Greenwood Street\, Ishpeming.  \n  \nPowerful Tools for Caregivers\, a six-week in-person workshop\, designed for the non-professional\, informal family caregiver\, will be held on Thursdays\, August 13 through September 17\, 2026\, from 1:30-3:00 pm EST\, at the Ishpeming Senior Center\, 121 Greenwood Street\, Ishpeming.  \nResearch studies find high rates of depression and anxiety among caregivers and increased vulnerability to health problems. Caregivers frequently cite restriction of personal activities and social life as problems. In addition\, caregivers often feel a lack of control over events and a sense of powerlessness which can have a significant negative impact on their physical and emotional health. The Powerful Tools for Caregivers program will provide caregivers tools to help reduce stress and increase relaxation\, make tough decisions\, reduce guilt\, anger and depression\, communicate effectively\, set goals and problem solve\, and take better care of themselves while caring for a relative or friend. Caregivers will benefit from the workshop whether they are helping a parent\, spouse\, or friend living at home\, in long-term care or across the country. The workshop focuses on self-care for the caregiver\, not on specific diseases or hands-on caregiving. \nPowerful Tools for Caregivers is offered by Upper Peninsula Commission for Area Progress (UPCAP) in partnership with Lake Superior Life Care and Hospice. There is no charge for this workshop\, but registration is required. Class size is limited. \nTo register\, visit www.upcap.org (click on Events) or call 2-1-1 Monday through Friday\, 8 am to 4 pm for assistance. Registration ends when the class is full or on August 3. \n
