Marquette Regional History Center

Marquette, MI - The Marquette Regional History Center has announced the winners of the 2018 Helen Longyear Paul and Peter White awards.

The History Center presented Jim Koski with the ‘Helen Longyear Paul Award’ for the preservation and enhancement of history in Marquette County. Award winners are honored on a permanent plaque in the museum.

The winner of the 2018 ‘Peter White Award’ is the ‘Iron Bay Restaurant and Tap Room,’ for their promotion to increase awareness and interest in our regional cultural heritage. 

The awards recognize exceptional effort in the enhancement, restoration, conservation or interpretation of the history of our area.

Hans Ahlström is the host of several programs including the daily musical variety show Weekday, the mostly straight ahead jazz show Night Studio, the self explanatory Blues Today, and the eclectic Sound Spectrum.

He also helps manage Public Radio 90's web content, interviews local and visiting writers and artists, works with NMU student interns, and writes the occasional news story.
