The week-long series, running from June 15 through June 19, 2026, will culminate in the unveiling of a new bronze monument dedicated to the extinct bird.
The commemorative week is supported by numerous collaborating partners, including the Emmet County Historical Commission, Little Traverse Conservancy, State Historic Parks, Petoskey Regional Audubon Society, and the Crooked Tree Arts Center.
In addition to the scheduled events, the Little Traverse History Museum will be open all week from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Visitors are encouraged to stop by to view a taxidermy passenger pigeon and a wall mural depicting the 1800’s hunting of the birds in the Petoskey area.
