Sweet, Sweet Memories

July 16, 2022

We have one question for you: Are you a Sugar Loafer? If you A) know what that means and B) answered yes, don’t miss the Sugar Loaf Discovery Day at the Leelanau Historical Society on Saturday, July 23. A team of archivists will be ready and waiting to record your Sugar Loaf oral histories, documents, and artifacts to help preserve the history of the former Leelanau County skiing hotspot. Though it may have been 20 years since the resort was last open, its memory will live on through this community-sourced experience. Bonus: You can enjoy free admission to the museum on Saturday as well, where a special exhibit will chronicle the resort’s early history. No appointments are necessary, but if you can’t make the event and still want to tell your Sugar Loaf story, call (231) 254-7475 or visit leelanauhistory.org/events. Otherwise, head to 203 E. Cedar St. in Leland between 10am and 4pm.
