  Here are a few events we have planned for 2011:

  Queens' Tea - the Blossomtime queens and kings visit the Morton House each year in the week before the parade (May 7, 2011) for tea and a bit of information about Benton Harbor history.

  Ghost Hunting at the Morton House - after the fireworks on Sunday, July 3, we invite folks to join us at midnight for some nocturnal doings at the Morton House with a ghosthunter. This is a fund-raiser for the Morton House - details to follow.

  Antiques Appraisal - Sunday, Aug. 21. We'll have certified appraisers on hand to give you an informal appraisal of your valuables for a small fee. Dig around in your attic and see if you have some treasures to offer.

  Crystal Springs Cemetery History Tour - Saturday, Sept. 17. Join us at the most beautiful cemetery in Benton Harbor and learn some history about some of the folks buried there. This is a fundraiser for the Morton House, details to follow.

  Holiday open house - Saturday, Nov. 19; Sunday, Nov. 20; and Saturday, Nov. 26. Click on the "2011 Holiday Event" tab for details.

  We'll also have a speaker series once a month from June-September; a ghost storyteller in October; and workshops on geneology, selling your antiques, and publishing your history. Watch for those dates in the near future.

  Our annual "Morton House Museum Preservation Awards" will take place in June and we'll also issue our annual "most-endangered" list.

  We're going to be a busy place this year as we work towards our mission of becoming "The Home of Benton Harbor History" - hope you can join us often.
