Michigan's Heritage Park at Hilt's Landing is a relatively new addition to the Lakeshore Museum Center. It consists mainly of an outdoor trail that brings you through 10,000 years of area history. The sites included along the trail are: the Mastodon Dig, Wigwam Village-1650, Fur Trade - 1760, a Settler's Cabin - 1830, a Civil War Camp - 1861-1865, the Logging Shanty - 1880, a 20th century Farmhouse, and Civilian Conservation Corps -1933. These are all interactive sites along the trail that have staff dressed in period clothing and portraying life in that era. They take you through some of the daily activities in that time and are able to answer questions that you may have about the period. Heritage Park is also host to many special events during its open season, which is from May to October. One of the events that Heritage Park hosts is a Civil War Weekend. This includes reenactments done by local reenactors, a civilian and military fashion show at the pavilion, and many more themed activities. Some of the other events hosted at the park include "Make & Take" days with activities like candle dipping, finger weaving, and corn husk dolls, a vintage craft show, the Honoring National Heritage PowWow, and spinning workshops. For a small admission fee you get to enjoy this gorgeous park and experience Michigan history. It is the perfect place to spend some quality family time and enjoy the beautiful Michigan weather!
