History
1
The “Aha” was abandoned in changing times, and its remarkable history was forgotten. In the 1930s, while being towed to storage, the empty hall took on water and was beached near Sucker Creek. There it became an informal shelter for hunters and fishermen, gathering rust and bullet holes. In 2003, the “Aha” returned to Harbor Springs to join the Historical Society’s collection. In late 2010, it was transported east to Onaway for faithful restoration by students of the Industrial Arts Institute. Its story was renewed in its return to Harbor Springs, to Shay Park, where it was built by Ephraim Shay many years earlier.
