Manistee tourism authority unveils 'Journeys' Riverwalk exhibit on migration, industry and Indigenous histories
Summary
At the April 14 study session the Manistee County Tourism Authority presented 'Journeys,' a collaborative Riverwalk exhibit that will tell Manistee's story across four themes: Industries, Fisheries, Maritime and Indigenous histories.
On April 14, 2026, Sammie Lukaskiewicz, executive director of the Manistee County Tourism Authority, presented a new public-history project titled 'Journeys: Our Story of Migration, Industry and Community' to the Manistee City Council during a study session. The project is planned for display along the city's Riverwalk and organized around four themes: Industries, Fisheries, Maritime and Indigenous histories.
Lukaskiewicz described the project as a collaborative effort to enhance the Riverwalk through education and interpretation of local history. The minutes record the themes and the project's goal of telling Manistee's story but do not list final exhibit designs, installation dates, or funding sources.
The presentation was introduced for council awareness and initial feedback; no formal council action is recorded in the minutes. City staff follow-up was implied for project coordination and any required permitting or site approvals.
