The Leelanau Historical Society and Museum sits overlooking the sparkling Leland River near downtown Leland and historic Fishtown. It’s a most welcoming spot where people often congregate outside on the spacious riverside lawn, or come to see the boats that line up along the long dock. Inside, visitors may peruse collections and archives that contain more than 20,000 items. Here, one can learn of Leelanau’s fascinating maritime history, and even take a virtual tour “onboard” the steamship Leelanau.
