SENEY TOWNSHIP, MI (AP)-- A historical marker celebrating a fishing trip along a Schoolcraft County river by famed author Ernest Hemingway will be dedicated later this month.
The Michigan Outdoor Writers Association will hold the ceremony on August 14 at the East Branch of the Fox River State Forest Campground in Seney Township.
Hemingway, then 20 years old, and two friends camped near the site in 1919 while fishing. The marker reads that the trip formed the basis for the Hemingway short story, "Big Two-Hearted River."
State Natural Resources Director Keith Creagh will attend the 4 p.m. dedication, which is open to the public.
The Michigan Heritage Memorials marker is the latest to recognize key events in the state's natural resources and outdoor recreation history.
