What island has been called “America’s Best National Park” by the Wall Street Journal? On Monday, November 9, from 1 to 3pm, at the Chelsea Senior Center, John Daly will present Isle Royale: Michigan’s Little-Known Treasure. He will discuss what the island offers visitors, and how it became part of the U.S. and Michigan. This class is in-person.
Why do we frame a picture or other art object rather than just tack it up on a wall? For answers, come to Picture Framing: A History and Practical Advice on How to Give the Best Results.
