Ole and Magdalena Olsen Farm
In June, we took on projects at the Ole Olsen farmhouse including replacing siding, drip line and flashing on water damaged section; roof repairs; and drainage system installation.

Interpretive signs
Hikers and bikers out exploring the park often come upon the historic properties

Adopt-a-Highway
Come join us to help pick up litter from the section of M-22 in the Port Oneida Rural Historic District one mile in each direction from the Olsen Farm as an adopt-a-highway partner with MDOT.

Landscape Stewardship
Cultural landscape features within Sleeping Bear Dunes includes gardens, fence rows, pine plantations, windbreaks, cemeteries, antique orchards, old roads, meadows, agricultural fields, and ornamental plantings such as lilacs.
