2026-03-26T09:00:00 2026-03-26T12:00:00 Outdoor Adventure Center - Active Aging Adventures Brunch and Learn: Lumberjacks of Michigan

During this monthly series for active aging adults, participants will have opportunities to meet our on-site educators, listen to guest presenters and take part in various natural resource-themed activities. All programs begin at 9 a.m. and include pastries, coffee and tea upon entry. At 9:30 a.m., presentations will begin, so sit back and enjoy your snack during an exciting and informative program, then wrap up with time to explore the OAC exhibits.

In March, join Lumberjack and Logging Museum historian Jerry Berg as he leads us on a trip back to the virgin forests of early Michigan and tells the tales of the Shanty Boy Lumberjacks who lived there. Not only will the work of the lumberjacks be shared, but also the unique culture that arose and led to Michigan's early identity and the impact on the state. This presentation features plenty of artifacts from the museum's collection!

This event kicks off Lumberjack Days 2026 – join the fun by wearing your best flannel, and don't forget to check out the full weekend schedule.

Preregistration is required. Cost is $8 per person.
