    Event Description:
    Presidential Library Archivist to Speak at Cheboygan Carnegie 
     
         Cheboygan Carnegie welcomes Brian McNerney, Saturday, September 8, 10:00 a.m. McNerney, a Presidential Library Archivist with the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library in Austin, Texas, will discuss two topics. 
     
         He will talk about the importance of repurposing historic buildings, especially Carnegie Libraries. McNerney will tell about his adventures in trying to purchase a Carnegie in Superior, Wisconsin, and how it led him to the Carnegie subculture throughout the United States and around the world. He will also talk about the Cheboygan Carnegie history, including the actual proposal sent to Carnegie to establish the library. 
     
        McNerney will also give an overview of the Presidential Library System, of which the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library is the 6th of 13 existing libraries. The 14th, the Obama Library, is being built in Hyde Park, IL, on the campus of the University of Chicago. 
     
         Also, McNerney will elaborate on how presidential libraries are a fortress against intolerance and ignorance: “Presidential Libraries and Their Role in Pursuing the Fifth Freedom.”
    He’ll talk about the peculiarities of several, including the Ford, and note some of the eyebrow-lifting holdings of the LBJ.
         
         An archivist with the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, Texas, Brian McNerney is also an adjunct professor at St. Edwards University. He also has Michigan roots, having graduated from MSU with an MA in English in 1994, and later teaching there for a semester. McNerney also served in the army for 26 years, seeing active duty in the Persian Gulf War, plus serving in Iraq and Germany.

    Guided Bicycle Trail Ride

     

    Ride the North Central State Trail to the Barbara 

    Hoffius Preserve and Back

     

     

    Hoffius Preserve Bicycle Ride Tour

    By Cheboygan Trails Council

     

    Beginning at  8;30 am at Festival Square Jim Conboy  will lead a bike ride north on the North Central State Trail  to and back from the Hoffius Preserve just off US 23. The total round trip  distance is 15 1/2 miles. A volunteer will sweep to make sure no one is left behind. Once at the Preserve bikes will be left at the entrance,  with a volunteer,  and riders will  walk about 1/2 mile down  to the shore of Lake Huron where the beauty of the Lake can be appreciated. Total time 2 3/4 to 3hours. 

     

    While the trail is flat, riders should be prepared to ride the distance comfortably.  It is not a ride for young children. Since the path to the shore of Lake Huron includes steps and uneven ground, comfortable walking shoes are advised. Helmets are encouraged.

     

    It would be appreciated if you would sign up for the ride though that is not required to participate.
