Name Should Reflect History

To the Editor:

Where were our great Mackinac Island historians when they let our old Indian Dorm become Manoogian Art Museum?

Why not the Thomas W. Ferry Art Museum with donation of Richard and Jane Manoogian?

What will be next? The Biddle House or Beaumont? Maybe the Mission Church?

Until we get some new faces in the State Park and the Mackinac Island City Council, it will not happen.

Ira Green owns the McNally Cottage. Let him do what he wants with it. Is it history or a friend’s home that they don’t want destroyed? Is it to sit and rot and become a fire trap?
