Wanted: Stories, Photos and Mementos
of Michigan's Roadside Tourist Attractions

Planning is under way for the next special exhibit at the Michigan Historical Museum in Lansing and you might have just the photo, memento or story that makes the exhibit complete.

Scheduled to run from January 10 through September 14, 2009, Michigan's Roadside Attractions will look at the fun, interesting, even quirky, places that travelers visit while on their way somewhere else. If you have traveled Michigan's highways and byways, chances are you've stopped at sites like Big John, the World's Largest Miner, near Iron Mountain; the Twin Towers in the Irish Hills; or any number of places—perhaps one that no longer exists—for amusement, to rest, to buy a souvenir or to have your picture taken.

Deadline for submitting photos, artifacts or stories:
October 1, 2008.
