Uncover Local Legends and Lore with Lakeshore Museum Center Downtown Walking Tours

Learn all about local legends and lore—and get your steps in—with the Lakeshore Museum Center. The Legends and Lore Tour will seek to uncover answers and the facts to some of Muskegon’s most colorful stories. For example: what happened when a Muskegon detective met a gangster on the run? Who planted bombs in downtown Muskegon? What caused a massive lumbering strike and a near-deadly confrontation between workers and a mill owner? 

 

All tours will start and end at the Muskegon Museum of History and Science: 430 W. Clay Ave., Muskegon, MI 49440. Participants can expect to walk about one mile on the 90-minute tours. Tours are scheduled on the following dates: 

 

  • October 23 from 6:00pm - 7:00pm

  • October 26 from 4:30pm - 6:00pm
