The Lakeshore Museum Center (formerly known as the Muskegon County Museum) has added to their list of historic homes that you can tour. The Hackley/Hume Houses are great examples of life as a lumber baron. Come and see the house decorated as it would have been 100 years ago. They also have a new house, the Scolnik House, featuring Depression Era decoration - "a stark contrast to the opulence" of the Hackley/Hume Houses. Also be sure to visit the Fire Barn Museum to get a better understanding of the trucks and people who have served our great city for so many years.
The Grand Rapids Griffins are a farm team for the Detroit Red Wings. Griffins players are frequently called up to the Wings, and injured Wings often return to playing with a stop in Grand Rapids. This is a great opportunity to catch great hockey and some rising stars.
