Kick off your Memorial Day weekend with a Member Morning at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum! This month, join us as we talk with freelance conservator, Clara Deck, as she takes a deep dive into some models from one of the largest collections of Great Lakes ship models in the country. Clara will present the “behind, behind the scenes” of her detailed work to preserve two of our beautiful and intricate ship models, the “Mayflower” and the “John G. Munsen”. These models, made almost 100 years apart, are currently on view at DGLM.
