“Step back in time at the Port Oneida Fair and experience life as it was in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Imagine the life of the pioneers as you help bale hay or watch a broom-maker at work. Learn about spinning, basket weaving, soap making, butter making, candle dipping, and fur trapping. Listen as park rangers and local history experts share the area’s history. Watch as teams of oxen and horses cut, load, and haul hay and artists and craftsmen demonstrate their skills.
Arrive anytime between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm. Most people spend 3-4 hours at the fair.
All programs are free with a valid park entrance pass. Passes may be purchased at the Phillip A. Hart Visitor Center in Empire, Michigan, and cost $25 (per vehicle) for seven days, $45 for an annual Sleeping Bear Dunes pass, or $80 (or less) for the America the Beautiful – National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands pass series.”

HIStory / HERstory: Whose Story? [August 15 – October 23, 2025]
The Glen Arbor Arts Center takes on the question of history and voice in its next exhibition. HIStory/HERstory: Whose Story? is an exhibition that explores the idea that the victors have written history. This version of history has often been told from one perspective — while other histories have been ignored, deleted, denied, left out of the official record. The exhibition opens August 15, 5 pm with a reception in the GAAC Main Gallery.
Whether it’s visual art, literature, film, sports, science, politics, education, animal, mineral, real or imagined history, this exhibition asks:
• Who’s telling what stories?
• Who’s included in the official record?
• Who’s excluded? Omitted? Erased?
Twenty-four exhibitors take on these questions, and answer them with work about what’s included in the art historical canon; a fractured telling of Native American history; the voices inside a mom’s head; and other topics. Read more about the exhibit, and exhibition companion programs. View it online at GlenArborArt.org / EXHIBITS. HIStory / HERstory runs through October 23.

Kalamazoo, Michigan writer Lynne Heasley’s residency with the Glen Arbor Arts Center is bat-centric, and a springboard for writing about the natural world and how it intersects with the human world. Heasley will talk about her essay-in-progress at a public presentation on August 21, 10 am. The program is open to the public at no charge.
During her residency, Heasley will “develop a creative nonfiction environmental essay titled ‘I Remember the Bat Room’ ,” she said. The piece is the prologue for “reconsidering my grandparents’ dilapidated, never-painted, 1900 farm house in the 1960s and ‘70s — what its smells taught and might still teach about our relationships within more-than-human worlds; about transcendent meanings of ‘home’; about biodiversity in even humble places.”
The GAAC has been hosting visiting artmakers as part of its residency program since the 1990s. For more information about the GAAC’s AIR Program go to GlenArborArt.org / ARTISTS.

The Glen Arbor Arts Center’s third season of Coffee With The Authors is about building. And the next interview in the 2025 series is about building the history of a place, in this case Glen Arbor Township: A History to 1920, a new, hardcover book edited by Andrew White; and written by Paul Dechow, Mary Severson Tris, Barbara Siepker, and John Tris. The interview takes place August 24, 11 am in the GAAC Main Gallery.
Published by Leelanau Press, Glen Arbor Township surveys the geological, social, and human history of what became Glen Arbor Township, a municipal designation encompassing 87.6 square miles of land and water. Over the course of 368 pages, and drawing on original documents, the five collaborating writers present a picture of this place, starting with the glacial activities that lay the groundwork for the Land of Delight; the lifeway of the original inhabitants; followed by the commercial timbering era, fruit orchards, Glen Arbor’s early resorts, and the accompanying population shifts. GAAC Gallery Manager Sarah Bearup-Neal will explore the mechanics of how a group of writers build a cohesive history, and what current day residents can glean from the past.
Coffee With The Authors is a series of conversational interviews with local, regional, and state authors about the art, craft, and process of writing. In these interviews, Bearup-Neal talks with writers – poets, essayists, memoirists, fiction writers, historical fiction writers, writers of creative non-fiction – and explores how writers work and think. There is no charge.
Coffee With The Authors enjoys the support of the Cottage Book Shop and the Glen Lake Community Library.
