Saturday and Sunday
August 16 - 17, 2008
1 p.m.

Hartwick Pines Logging Museum, Grayling

It's a great weekend to see how baseball has changed since the days of Abner Doubleday! See the difference in two contests that have the look and feel of the 19th-century game—from the old-style uniforms to the old-style (1860) rules.

Each contest pits the Hartwick Pines Swampers against the Welkins Base Ball Club of Port Huron. Games played at 1 p.m. at the Hartwick Pines State Park picknic area.

This event is free of charge. For more information, please telephone (989) 348-2537.

Sponsored by the Friends of Hartwick Pines.

Hartwick Pines Logging Museum—part of the Michigan Historical Museum System—is located eight miles northeast of Grayling, in Hartwick Pines State Park; a Michigan State Parks motor-vehicle permit is required for park entry. Here's more information about how to find Hartwick Pines.
