Ole Lyngklip is a curatorial advisor at the Charlevoix Historical Society. A board member at CHS and the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan, his curatorial collaborations with the Museum at Harsha House began in 2018 with the exhibit 150 Years of Photography. The exhibit, which he co-curated with David Miles, documented Charlevoix’s photographic history from the late 19th century to the early modern era. His second exhibit in 2023, A Maritime History of Charlevoix, co-curated with Miles, sparked the idea for this project.

David L. Miles is an award-winning historian and author specializing in the history of Charlevoix, Michigan. He has written ten books and produced two documentaries. His latest book, Boulders: The Life and Creations of Earl Young, Charlevoix’s Master Builder in Stone, was selected by the Library of Michigan as a Michigan Notable Book, and received a State History Award from the Historical Society of Michigan, both in 2021. He also contributed to an Emmy-winning documentary on Earl Young that aired on Michigan PBS.
