Alpena Attractions
Alpena was settled in 1840 and served the booming lumber industry in the late 19th century. Many recreational opportunities are available including boating, diving, fishing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and hunting.
The galleries feature artworks by painters, photographers, potters and other artists. The Museum also houses permanent displays, including exhibits of the area's early lumbering and farming industry; the gallery of Early Man - a history of the area's first inhabitants; and the avenue of shops - a look at Alpena during the late 1800's. Located on the grounds, this group of historic buildings includes the Malz Exchange Bank, Green School, McKay Cabin and Spratt Church.
Tips: Planetarium shows are an additional $3 for adults, $2 for students.
