As seen in the August 2025 issue… join us in celebrating 100 years of history with free train tours and ice cream!
CELEBRATE TONIGHT! 6-8 pm, Chinook Pier
Did you know Grand Haven is home to one of only three Coal Tipples in Michigan - and the only one open for the public to see? This historic landmark is turning 100 years old!
Join us TONIGHT from 6–8 PM as we celebrate during the Tri-Cities Historical Museum’s Annual Ice Cream Social. View the Coal Tipple, step inside Engine 1223, grab FREE ice cream, and enjoy an evening of history, community, and fun.
Your support helps preserve this incredible piece of our history. Donations of any amount will go toward future restoration, maintenance, and a story walk to share the Tipple’s history with visitors. Contributions are held by the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation.
A gift of $100 or more includes a plaque on the nearby wall recognizing your support.
Let’s keep Grand Haven’s stories alive for the next 100 years!
