Port Oneida Thoreson Farm History and Tour

From staff reports

On Wednesday, July 20, from 10 a.m. to noon, Leonard Thoreson, descendant of Port Oneida’s Thoreson Farm, will speak about his family’s life on the farm. This ROOTStories program of Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear will also include a guided tour of the Thoreson farm, including some of the building interiors which are usually not open for public access. Attendees should meet at the Olsen Farmstead, located at 3164 W. Harbor Hwy (M-22) in Maple City (just three miles north of Glen Arbor). A $5 donation per person will be collected. Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear is also offering horse and wagon tours of Port Oneida on Thursdays at 4:30 and 5:45 p.m. with reservations. PHSB is a non-profit partner of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore preserving and interpreting the historic structures and landscapes.
