The Michigan Maritime Museum holds their 42nd Antique & Classic Boat Show in South Haven this Saturday.
According to event spokesperson Claire Herhold, this is a celebration of all kinds of antique and classic small craft from power boats to paddle boats.
“Our fresh water is part of what defines us as Michiganders. It defines the history of our region and state. Those are the stories we want to tell and this event is a big part of telling those stories,” said Herhold.
Woodworkers and collectors alike will show their boats, demonstrations on boat building techniques will be featured, and toy boat building will be available for kids.
The aim is to help perpetuate the building, restoration, and use of classic boats and small craft to give participants and the public an entertaining and informative learning experience.
The Antique & Classic Boat Show is proudly sponsored by the Dave Bergman Family. The event happens this Saturday, June 17 from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm at the Michigan Maritime Museum, 260 Dyckman Ave in South Haven. The cost to get in is included with general admission to the museum.
