Where Art Nature & History Meet
Discover for yourself the stories of Michigan’s cultural and natural history brought to life through art. Our 31-acre wooded preserve offers an art and hiking experience that is uniquely “northern Michigan.”
Artwork
The fifty-plus sculptures in our permanent collection, as well as our rotating exhibits and poetry stones, connect visitors to our shared cultural and natural history.
Education
Hundreds of area students visit the art park on school field trips every day. Our Looking to Learn resources help teachers integrate the park trip with classroom learning in math, science, and history.
New Project: Raindrops
Our 2024 collaborative artwork invites YOU to create rain-related images to be included in a monumental installation at the park.
