I sat down the other night to read our local Community Newspaper and noticed that the Michigan Historical Museum was putting on a neat little history lesson for all of us who enjoy hunting and the outdoors.

They have an exhibit that runs though March 31st entitled A-Hunting We Will Go.  This exhibit covers the history of Michigan hunting and its impact on the state in the past and present.   It covers prominent outdoor businesses in the state, such as Jays Sporting Goods, and also features pieces about Fred Bear and Ted Nugent, and their impact on the Michigan hunting community.  It even touches on the Mackinaw Bridge and its role in Michigan hunting traditions and the impact it has had on the traditional up-north hunting trips.

I honestly had no idea that this exhibit existed until this article, but I am glad that I ran across it and I plan on visiting this exhibit some time in the near future.  I thought I might even be able to work it in this weekend after we get done with the local outdoor show that we are going to visit.  That would make for a great day.

I think it would be an awesome activity for the whole hunting family to enjoy and best of all parking and admission is free on the weekends.  I hope to visit real soon and I’m hoping they let us take a few pictures to share as well.
