Michigan Living History Encampment

Teaching & Sharing Centers - Michigan Living History Encounters

william and the [original] T&SC had been behind the scenes help with the fur trader (voyageur) encampment during Grand Ledge's Fall Color Cruise & Island Festival since 1990. In October 2005, the program became the sole responsibility of the T&SC organization. In 2010, we lost our initial MLHE motivator, Kenn Kuester, who transitioned to be with the Lord. However, the donation of his equipment and materials in 2011 to the T&SC enabled us to look ahead to the future of MLHE.

Michigan Living History Encounters (or Encampment) remains a DBA (assumed name - doing business as) of the Teaching & Sharing Centers non-profit organization. Though as an active teaching & sharing center it currently only exists four days per year, it is an exceptional learning experience for those who take the time to visit with our presenters. This program is in its infancy, and has great potential for expansion and involvement. Anyone interested in MLHE activities or possibilities should contact us.

A few photos from Michigan Living History Encounters appear below. Additional photos can be seen in the Scrapbook Photos section on william's www.wsharing.com website. Find the Scrapbook Photos index page and look for the thumbnail titled FALL FESTIVAL TIME IN GRAND LEDGE to view more.

Supporting some of our member's involvement in historical re-enacting, the Teaching & Sharing Centers organization (non-profit 501c3 public charity) sponsored the Michigan Living History Encampment (now Michigan Living History Encounters) as a part of Grand Ledge's Fall Color Cruise & Island Festival beginning in 2005. The below photos are from that first 2005 encampment. Kenn Kuester, who died in 2010, played the role of Father Marquette and was the motivating force behind our involvement. From set-up [upper left] on Thursday through the three days of the festival we were blessed in our sharing and a good time was had by participants and visitors alike. MLHE remains committed to those ideals.
