Urban Renewal Exhibit

Date: Thursday, June 15

Last Updated: October 1st, 2023

Location: Muskegon Museum of History and Science, 430 W. Clay Ave, Muskegon, MI, 49440, United States

Hosted By: Lakeshore Museum


Event Details: In the late 1940s, urban renewal began as cities faced a decline in their downtown business districts and neighborhoods. More people moved to the suburbs, which caused downtown to struggle. Muskegon was no exception. Stroll down 1960s Western Avenue, visit the Muskegon Mall, and explore visions for the future of downtown Muskegon. Learn about Muskegon’s own urban renewal experience in the 1960s and 1970s, its decline, and the development underway today. The price of this exhibit is included in the general price of admission to the Museum, which is free for Muskegon County residents and Museum members and $5 for out-of-county residents. This activity is supported by the MICHIGAN ARTS AND CULTURE COUNCIL and the NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS.
