Sleeping Bear Inn Groundbreaking Open House
2022-04-08 13:00 - 14:00, 2022-04-09 10:00 - 14:00 | Sleeping Bear Inn, 5000 Glen Haven Rd, Glen Arbor, MI, 49630, United States
Sleeping Bear Inn & Garage Groundbreaking: An open house will take place on Friday, April 8, where visitors will be able to see the buildings before they undergo renovation. It will take place at 1pm. BEAR will also host an open house April 9 from 10-2, though there will be no SLBE rangers or staff available that day.
The National Park will be leasing the building to BEAR, the non-profit “Balancing Environment and Rehabilitation” to preserve the two buildings while providing a wonderful visitor experience in the historic Glen Haven village. Maggie Kato and her husband Jeff retired from their longtime jobs with Habitat for Humanity of Genesee County to move north and oversee the renovation before transitioning into innkeepers. This coming year, the Inn will undergo the renovations for it to open for the 2023 season, with plans to feature 8 bed and breakfast rooms and bathrooms. The couple hopes to eventually open the dining room to the public as a restaurant. The Inn plans to be open and operate year-round.
“Originally built between 1865 and 1867, the inn served as a frontier hotel for business travelers and local workers. It continued in operation throughout the next century evolving into a tourist hotel before closing in the early 1970s. Today the 13-acre Glen Haven Village Historic District is all a part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.”

Film Premiere: Water, Sand, and Sky
2022-04-20 18:00 - 19:00 | Glen Arbor Township Hall
The film, “Water, Sand and Sky,” for Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is ready to experience. It will premiere this month during National Park Week (April 16-24, 2022) in a regional debut Sleeping Bear Everywhere. Join us at the Glen Arbor Town Hall for a viewing of it on Wednesday, April 20th at 6pm, or another locations listed below.
“Water, Sand and Sky” explores the stunning landscapes, rich biodiversity, and captivating history of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. This 71,199-acre national park hugs the northeast shore of Lake Michigan, where miles of sand beach, towering bluffs, lush forests, and clear inland lakes, make up the natural world and provide the setting for a rich human history. Sleeping Bear Dunes is part of the world’s largest freshwater dune ecosystem. The immense sand dunes are the products of vast glaciers that covered the landscape thousands of years ago. Today, the land is cared for by the National Park Service, making it possible for us all to enjoy adventures in this breathtaking, ever-changing environment. Water, Sand, and Sky makes Sleeping Bear Dunes more accessible than ever before with 4K cinematography, 5.1 surround sound, and rarely seen archival imagery. The film brings the sights, sounds, and stories of the park to vivid life, transporting viewers back in time and inspiring a deep appreciation for this extraordinary corner of the earth.
