Create delicious art. Experience for yourself the joy of food. Enjoy making a memory and gaining skills while hands-on experiencing artisan food skills and home making skills like soap making, knife skills, pasta making, preparing entire meals from scratch using natural ingredients, bread making, home canning, electric pressure cooking, making jams and jellies, pies and much more! Learn skills that are not just useful, but interesting. Gain knowledge on how to reduce time in the kitchen. Learn how to master today's unique kitchen appliances like the Instant Pot and the Nija Foodi, for example. An absolutely fabulous experience while gaining skills you will use to reduce food costs, ensure the safety of your foods, and re-live a piece of heritage that is fast becoming lost, cooking from whole foods (from “scratch” cooking). Book a private session, or join a public one and meet new friends.

The Hackley and Hume Historic Site features the restored homes of Muskegon's most well-known lumber barons with outstanding wood carving, stained glass windows, and period furnishings. A guided tour of the homes offers visitors a look at life in the late 1800s and early 1900s. During the summer months, there are often games on the lawn for our young visitors. The Site is open from May to October. With select dates in November and December for Holiday Tours.

Three cheers for this exceptional tour for the Hackley/Hume tour. The homes are stunning and one really develops an appreciation for the craftsmanship that went into building these gorgeous homes. As an added bonus, the visitor is also welcomed into Firehouse and Depression Era museums! I recommend this tour 100%!

The Muskegon Heritage Museum exhibits the history of the industries of the Muskegon area. We have a working bowling alley. An 18 ton Corliss valve steam engine powering our machine shop with leather belts. Engines on display from Continental motors, including aircraft, marine and a tank engine. The first 75,000 Raggedy Ann's were made here, we have one from 1918 on display. There over 12,000 square feet of display space on the museums three floors. Open Mid May to Mid October except for prearranged tours and school groups.

This museum is amazing! It contains the industrial history of greater Muskegon and has working engines and machines from many businesses from the past. The Snurf Board, original Raggedy Ann Doll (yes, made in a toy company from Muskegon), a Brunswick pin setter, and exhibits too numerous to mention in a review. The displays are beautiful and extremely well-done. What a treat to see for ourselves and for our grandkids. Rotary phones, Occidental hotel switchboard, Kemperman's grocery store, sample Hathaway House boarding room, etc. etc.

This State Park offers a variety of winter recreation including ice skating, cross-country skiing and luge.
Reviewed By eklamb93 - Saranac, United States
We were amazed by the Muskegon State Park's winter sport's complex and can't wait to come back this winter! We were there in the fall to check out the luge and ice skating trails because we had never seen either one before. We walked the lighted cross country ski trails and snow shoe trails as well. We can't wait to bring our girls here this winter to try it out--luge park is for all levels of experience, so someone like us who has never tried it before can do it as well. We have been to the beach here at North Muskegon State Park and it is not crowded at all and has nice facilities. Definitely worth the extra time it takes for us to come to this beach.

This is our favorite beach. Lots of parking, clean with decent bathrooms. The beach area is huge, so even when there are tons of people, you dont feel super crowded. They also have a concession stand with ice cream, hot dogs etc. Along with rentals for water gear.

USS LST 393 Veterans Museum is on board a historic World War II warship. It contains thousands of artifacts and can be toured May-September.
Reviewed By gpduf - Tebay, United Kingdom
I served on an LST during the Vietnam war as a Marine, LST1144, the USS Washtenaw County. Getting to go through one again, realizing how small and cheap they are was an eye opener. As 'something to do,' the museum onboard is excellent, crawling around the boat is great and there is a submarine to visit nearby as well. They show films on the deck in summer though I am not sure about during COVID. This is a great visit for families of veterans and an interest in the military or in military history.
