MARP meets in Sanford on June 22
MARP Member Meeting
Saturday, June 22, 2019,
10 a.m. – Noon
Sanford Centennial Museum
2222 Smith St, Sanford, MI 48657
MAP & DIRECTIONS
On Saturday, June 22, MARP members will gather at the Sanford Centennial Museum in the village of Sanford, off U.S. Hwy 10 about nine miles northwest of Midland.
The Sanford Centennial Museum houses an extensive local history collection. There are nine historic buildings, including two schools, a general store, log cabin, township hall, church, train depot and train, all authentically restored and furnished. Inside the buildings, collections include vintage tools, implements from the logging days, political memorabilia, a dentist’s office, a saloon, toys, household goods, and much more. The Museum Complex Map gives a good idea of the richness of the site.
MARP will meet in the Depot building, one of the buildings that comprises The Museum complex. The meeting will be your opportunity to engage in brainstorming to help determine MARP’s role in advancing rail projects in Michigan and actions that we might undertake to improve passenger services.
Located on the Tittabawassee River one mile off U.S. Hwy 10, near Sanford Lake and its beaches, and across from the Pere Marquette Rail Trail, Sanford offers enticements to making this an early season weekend getaway.
We look forward to seeing you in Sanford.
