Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear
Preserving the past to inspire the present
An official non-profit partner of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear helps preserve and interpret the park's 360 historic buildings, landscapes, and rich heritage for the enrichment of individuals and the community.
Since 1999, PHSB has worked to save from demolition and moldering, the incredible collection of historic farmsteads, logs cabins, inns, maritime buildings and fields of the late 1800s - early 1900s - all listed on the National Register. The Port Oneida Rural Historic District, for example, is the largest in the nation and a significant slice of Americana that depicts the life of the common settler in forging a living in a new land.
We repair, restore or rehabilitate the structures through our volunteer corp or specialized contractors that are funded by our members and grantors. Volunteers are the backbone of the organization. Programs, exhibits, publications and tours are offered to provide an immersive experience in the heritage of the area. Your donation helps fund our work to preserve this heritage for future generations.
