Century of Progress: LGBTQ 2021 exhibitEntry/Object ID
2022.50.07Scope and Content
From the SDHC website: Covering over 100 years of history, the exhibit shares the stories of people living in the margins at the Lakeshore in a timeline format with local, state, and national LGBTQ developments included for context. Interpretive panels identify factors that have contributed to the diverse and inclusive nature of these two small Lake Michigan coastal villages alongside historical artwork and artifacts from SDHC collections. The exhibit showcases not only the progress made by the LGBTQ community, but also the challenges it has faced and the setbacks it has endured.
The exhibit was initially planned to be open from September 2021 to November 2022, but was extended through the summer of 2024.Collection
