The cold of early February did not stop hundreds of people from gathering on the frozen Black Lake in Cheboygan County to catch sturgeon during what some people call the “shortest fishing season” of the year in Michigan.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to modernize has become apparent. Pre-pandemic, the members of the public could visit the historical society to do research and view the displays and collections. Until recently, the historical society has been closed to the public although it has continued its research services. According to Jonathan Miller, society president, the historical society has been working on a âcare and shareâ project to convert the dated way of dealing with the collection. He said in the past the curator, the late Jerry Perrin, knew the history of each item in the collection and where it was located.
