Upcoming Events & Exhibits
The Journey to Midnight
The final program of the spring comes on Wednesday, May 8th at 7:00 p.m., when local author Karin Risko offers a program on "The Journey to Midnight", which tells the story of the Underground Railroad in Detroit. This presentation is an indoor video version of Karin's walking tour (a part of her City Tours Detroit).
This lecture is free of charge.
Annual Dinner
The evening features a special program by artist and Lincoln Park native Bill Morrison sharing highlights of his career as artist, illustrator, and cartoonist. As we expect this to be a very well-attended program, early reservations are highly recommended. See your newsletter for more details. Members will receive an official invitation in early March but advance reservations can be made anytime now by contacting the museum office. The member cost per person, which includes guests, is $15.
Presentation on Clara Ford
Our second program of Spring arrives on Wednesday, April 3rd at 7:00 p.m. with a presentation on "Clara Ford" given by the Henry Ford Heritage Association. A rare opportunity to learn more about this fascinating lady who did more than stand by the side of her husband.
This lecture is free of charge.
Lincoln Park in 1924
On Wednesday, March 13th at 7:00 p.m. we will continue with our Wednesday evening historical society programming to which we returned last fall after a break of several years. The evening presentation by curator Jeff Day will focus on Lincoln Park in the year 1924, a heady period of huge growth that found the young community racing toward a vote for cityhood in early 1925.
Those in attendance will be invited to offer their suggestions for the city's 2025 centennial commemoration. (Many will remember this follows by just four years the Village of Lincoln Park centennial in 2021, which fell during the pandemic.)
This lecture is free of charge.
Museum Yard Sale
During the weekend of the upcoming Lincoln Park City-Wide Yard Sale, the Lincoln Park Historical Society & Museum will participate with our own Yard Sale on the museum grounds on Friday the 9th and Saturday the 10th – the hours are from 10am to 4pm both days. (no Sunday hours)
Annual Dinner
The Lincoln Park Historical Society returns to celebrating its Annual Dinner and program after a three-year hiatus. The evening program is held Thursday April 27 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at the Lincoln Park High School cafeteria. The program for the evening is a tribute by Ed Clemente on “Clemente’s Restaurant an 80-year landmark, 1930-2010”. Ed is the son of Ettore (Eddie) and Mary Clemente and the grandson of founders Natalina and Joseph Clemente Sr. Clemente’s began in 1930 as a pool hall on Fort Park during the era of Prohibition and the Great Depression. In 1933, following the repeal of Prohibition, Clemente’s was the first local tavern to receive a beer license. In the 1940s, Clemente’s moved to its location on Fort Street at Lincoln, expanding its restaurant and adding a bowling alley.
The evening fundraiser will include a special silent auction.
The strolling dinner will consist of 8 stations including several choices of pizza, side dishes, drinks, and desserts.
Pre-paid reservations are due by April 22: society members and their guests are $20 per person; the general public cost is $25 per person. Payments can be made online by way of donation, clicking HERE or by check sent to Lincoln Park Historical Society 1335 Southfield Rd Lincoln Park MI 48146

Muriel Lobb Memorial Reception
On March 2, 2023, Lincoln Park lost one of its major supporters and its longest resident, Muriel Lobb, at the age of 105. Muriel moved to Lincoln Park from southwest Detroit with her family at age 4, shortly after the village of Lincoln Park’s incorporation in 1921, and lived her entire life in this community. Muriel was a true witness to history - and older than Lincoln Park itself, which celebrated its centennial in 2021, four years after she observed her own 100th birthday. Muriel had even outlived her life-long church, First Methodist Church of Lincoln Park, which closed its doors in 2016.
The Historical Society will be hosting a memorial-celebration of life reception for Muriel Lobb who served as the museum’s longest director until her retirement in 2014. The reception will be held here at the museum on Sunday, March 26th from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. along with a special display in tribute to Muriel’s life.
Many of our long-time members have known Muriel well and are aware of her many decades of service to the museum and to the Lincoln Park community. Most folks also know that the Lobb family operates the Flowers by Lobb florist shop on Fort Street. The business was begun in 1929 by Clinton Knoch, Muriel’s father, who operated the shop until his retirement in the 1950s. At that time Ed Lobb, Muriel’s husband, became owner/operator, followed later by their son, Dan Lobb. Today, Flowers by Lobb is a fourth generation family business under owner and operator, Amy Lobb Larion, Muriel’s granddaughter.
The family has suggested that memorial gifts in Muriel's name be made to the "Lincoln Park Historical Society" or to any cancer organization of your choosing. While Muriel was blessed with living a long, robust and healthy life, she did outlive her three children - Dan, Jeanne and Ron - who were each felled by cancer.
We hope many of Muriel’s friends can join with us and members of her family to celebrate the life of this amazing woman. A Memorial Book, which will remain on view, will allow for memories and stories of Muriel's life and work that anyone might wish to share.
Veterans Day Ceremony
The Annual Lincoln Park Veterans Day ceremony will be held on the grounds of the Historical Museum on Friday November 11, 2022 at 11:00 A.M. Area veterans, their families and community members are all invited to attend. The ceremony concludes with the traditonal bell-ringing in honor or in memory of United States veterans.
Halloween Film Screening - Invasion Of The Saucer Men
To celebrate Halloween, the LP Historical Society presents a special FREE screening of the 1957 comic sci-fi film, “Invasion of the Saucer Men”, featuring former Lincoln Parker Lyn “Buddy” Osborn (1926-1957) playing the role of Artie Shaw and the movie’s narrator. Osborn - who’s seen in quite a predicament in the movie ad shown here - acted alongside Frank Gorshin, Steve Terrell, and Gloria Castillo in the classic drive-in movie (originally released on a double bill with “I Was A Teenage Werewolf” starring a young Michael Landon). The film, which runs 69 minutes, screens Sunday October 30th once only at 6:00 P.M. in the LP bandshell building at Memorial Park. Doors open at 5:30pm. Refreshments are available. Please no Outside Food or Beverages. A short presentation on Lyn Osborn will be shared prior to the screening. Reservations are not needed.

So, we are celebrating the 101st anniversary of our community this year, to be held on Saturday October 1st, 2022 at Lincoln Park High School. The evening reception will take place at 6:30 p.m. at the High School Cafeteria, located on the east side of the school building.

Chuck Miller: The Mobile Masterpieces Exhibition
By the time Chuck Miller graduated from Lincoln Park High School in 1961, he was already obsessed with cars, having created models with creativity and painstaking detail. At 15, he won a contest sponsored by a local hobby shop by transforming a 1954 Ford two-door into a convertible “Rebel Rouser,” named after the Duane Eddy instrumental hit. As Miller later put it, he “got all excited” about the little car: “Cut the doors. Cut vents into her. Put in gold corduroy pleats, a TV, a telephone, changed the headlights, chopped the body, and won the contest. After that, I knew I’d make my living with cars.”
The Lincoln Park Centennial Exhibit
This special centennial exhibit will take a look back at the 1921 year of incorporation of the Village of Lincoln Park and will be highlighted by items from the museum's collections. The exhibit will run through the summer and fall. The museum is now open to the public, with days and hours of Wednesdays and Saturdays from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The exhibit will also be available online, so please watch this page for updated information.

Gary Grimshaw: The Master Artist’s Studio
The Grimshaw Studio exhibit has since been extended twice and currently remains on display, sharing space with the MC5 exhibit in the postmaster’s office.
The historical museum features the long-term exhibit, "Gary Grimshaw: the Master Artist’s Studio". Gary, who passed away in early 2014, was a native of Lincoln Park and a 1963 graduate of LP High School. Gary was a renowned and highly-respected poster illustrator who started his career in the mid-1960s at the same time the rock group, MC5, also from Lincoln Park, was spreading its wings. Gary was high school friends with Rob Tyner (Derminer), the lead singer for The MC5. The two friends were also fellow artists.

Ann Marston – Book Signing
Join us for our first Wednesday evening meeting of the fall:
On October 7th at 7:00 P.M. we are pleased to have author Alana Paluszewski with us to discuss and sign copies of her book, “Shooting Star, the Amazing Life of Ann Marston”.
Ann Marston was recognized as a National Archery Champion from 1949-1960. Her career as a champion archer brought her national attention and appearances in television and films, and included an appearance on the cover of the August 8, 1955 edition of Sports Illustrated. In 1959 she served as Miss Michigan and the following year competed for the Miss America title winning the talent competition with her archery skills.
Ann eventually developed a professional interest in the rising phenomenon of rock and roll bands in the early 1960s. Her associations brought her into contact with the Lincoln Park band, The MC5 in 1964. The MC5 was one of many Detroit area music groups that Ann Marston promoted and managed prior to her failing health from diabetes and her untimely death at age 32 in 1971.
The 7:00 P.M. program will coincide with the opening of the historical museum’s permanent MC5 exhibit, following its popular summer-long MC5 50 Year Retrospective Exhibit which closed on Labor Day. Lincoln Park was the hometown of four of the band’s members: vocalist Rob Tyner, lead guitars Wayne Kramer and Fred “Sonic” Smith, and drummer Dennis Thompson; bassist Michael Davis, a native Detroiter, was attending Wayne State when he joined the band in 1965.
The program takes place the evening of Wednesday, October 7 at 7:00 P.M. at the Lincoln Park Historical Museum, 1335 Southfield Road, Lincoln Park MI 48146. It is the first evening program of the Historical Society’s fall season. For more information contact (313) 386-3137, or lpmuseum@gmail.com.
The Band MC5 50th Anniversary & Exhibit
Opening Reception: July 11, 2015, 7:00 P.M. to 9:30 P.M. The exhibit closes on September 7, 2015. Join us for a free open air concert - with testimonials and special guests - held at the Lincoln Park Band Shell in Memorial Park on Sunday July 12, 2015.
MC5 50 years ~ It’s a Date
In the November newsletter we announced impending plans for a 50 Year celebration for rock legends MC5, most of whom hailed from Lincoln Park. The date has been set: events will take place over the weekend of July 11 and 12. Saturday the 11th at 7:00 p.m. will be a public opening reception for the ‘MC5 Exhibit’ at the museum, followed by Sunday’s 50 Year tribute concert at the Memorial Park Band Shell from 2:00pm to 6:00pm.
Purists will argue that the 5 began in 1964 when the name was adopted at vocalist Rob Tyner’s suggestion. Some of the musicians, guitarists Wayne Kramer and Fred Smith, were jamming together in their garages as early as 1963. The band members as we know them were all in place in 1965, when the stars aligned with the addition of Dennis Thompson on drums and Michael Davis on bass -- “MC5.”
As we move further along in the planning we will be gathering together a slate of performers and testimonials. You can keep up on the event postings via Facebook, as well as our own website. We will also have a complete section devoted to the MC5 in the May newsletter.
Business sponsorships to help underwrite this anniversary exhibit and concert are being sought to defray the costs of the events. Proceeds after expenses, as well as a portion of sales of merchandise, will be used to support the ongoing operations and programs of the historical museum. Please contact curator Jeff Day at lpmuseum at gmail com or (313) 386-3137 for information and sponsorship packets.
Updates for the MC5 50th Anniversary Tribute
Plans for the MC5 50 year anniversary tribute weekend in July continue to move forward. Much work has been completed and much yet to do. Posters and flyers, with art work by noted Detroit artist Carl Lundgren, will be out in May to help publicize the event. Surviving band members Dennis “Machine Gun” Thompson and Wayne Kramer have been invited to attend as have the families of Rob Tyner, Fred “Sonic” Smith, and Michael Davis. The band will receive long due recognition for their Lincoln Park roots and their contributions to America’s rock ‘n roll legacy. Testimonials and special guests are part of the weekend celebration.
Saturday, July 11 at 7:00p.m. is the public opening for the MC5 exhibit at the historical museum. (The exhibit runs through Labor Day). On Sunday afternoon, July 12 from 2pm to 6pm is the Tribute Concert at the Band Shell in Memorial Park. The events are free to the public. Picnic baskets are encouraged on Sunday. Keep up with the event postings via Facebook.
Major sponsors have already signed up to help with the celebration, including John A. Papalas, the Fort Street Brewery, Busen Appliance and Best Impressions Printing. Contributions from sponsors are still being accepted to defray the costs associated with putting on the celebration and for installing a permanent MC5 exhibit. Sponsors who sign up now will receive recognition in the event program, on our FB page, and will be noted on the on-site placard. Volunteers are also needed to help on the weekend.
Following the close of the special exhibit on Labor Day, September 7, a permanent MC5 exhibit will be installed. Please contact us at lpmuseum@gmail.com or 313-386-3137 for more information.
Youtube has many clips of MC5 performances; this link will get you to the entire High Times studio-recorded album, The MC5’s third album, released in 1971: true home-grown rock ‘n roll!
“The Motor City 5 - MC5”
(from the May 2015 Newsletter)
The United States of America is a country whose very existence is founded upon and steeped in a rich tradition of rebellion and in your face, non-conformist ideals. Each generation and each culture proudly claims and reveres its own historic and pivotal icons. America in the 1960's gave birth to a new sort of street-wise yet idealistic long-haired youth sub-culture whose principles and high-energy means of spreading their creed of togetherness, equality, and rock 'n' roll continue to resonate with many generations of people around the world.
The Motor City 5, the MC5 for short, launched their total assault on the world in 1965 from the otherwise humble, blue collar town of Lincoln Park, Michigan. Selecting the cool moniker because they thought it sounded like a Detroit make and model, The MC5 caught the green light at the corner of Fort and Southfield, then mashed the pedal to floor and rode their rock and roll express to major label record deals, critical acclaim, world-wide tours and an ever-growing legacy and cultural relevancy that has outlived even the band itself.
Consisting of Rob Tyner [Derminer] on lead vocals, Fred "Sonic" Smith and Wayne Kramer [Kambes] on dueling lead guitars, Dennis "Machine Gun" Thompson [Tomich] on drums and Michael Davis on bass guitar, the MC5 eventually recorded three albums and released several collector item 45 rpm vinyl record singles. Their iconic, self-professed mantra of a hit single "Kick Out The Jams," their albums on both Atlantic and Elecktra, and a devastating live show born at Russ Gibb’s famed Grande Ballroom, where they regularly shared the bill with local legends Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, Iggy and the Stooges, and other Detroit-bred bands, together helped land The 5 on tours and concert bills with international rock royalty including The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Big Brother and The Holding Company, Cream, The Yardbirds, and The Mothers of Invention.
Moreover, high-profile gigs like their legendary performance in the face of, or perhaps in tandem with, a rioting mob at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago helped catapult the band’s high intensity image and aggressive political stance into the international consciousness. Subsequent European tours by the MC5 helped plant the seeds of high energy rebellion that would manifest as the English punk scene of the mid 1970's.
Despite the MC5's formal ,dissolution in 1973, their music and legacy never really left the face of popular music or popular culture. From the U.K.’s The Damned, to metal gods Motorhead, to mid-‘70’s N.Y.C.’s C.B.G.B. mainstays The Dictators, to ‘90's alt-rock stars Rage Against The Machine and Stone Temple Pilots, to The Gories and the garage bashers of the 2000's The White Stripes, the Lincoln Park local’s songs, riffs and attitude can be heard and felt on the airwaves, in movies, Guitar Hero video games and inside the earbuds of angst-infused and idealistic youth who believe in the power of an idea and in the right to kick out their jams by any means necessary.
The museum now has a permanent MC5 exhibit located in the old postmaster’s office.

The Historic Fort Wayne Coalition is active in presenting high quality events that provide opportunities for the public to enjoy the fort and observe how it would have looked years ago when it was garrisoned.
The group remains busy in the effort of preserving and restoring as much as possible the structures and facilities on the fort grounds. In addition, the Coalition is dedicated to preserving the history of the Michigan men and women who served their country between 1845 and 1973 who either sent material to or personally passed thorugh Historic Fort Wayne as a place of induction to the United States military service.
Mr. Berlucchi has held the Chairman post at Fort Wayne since the Coalition's founding in 2004. He also serves the City of Detroit as President of the Advisory Commission on Historic Fort Wayne.
His career at Fort Wayne started in 1974 re-enacting in Loomis Battery and you will still find him today re-enacting as a member of the 7th Michigan Vol. Co. B.
This event is free to the public.

A TREASURED GIFT
Max Schiebold: Public Servant
Max Schiebold, whose family emigrated from Dresden, Germany in 1926, served Lincoln Park as mayor from 1971 to 1975.
Though Max passed away in June (2014) at the age of 93, his legacy as a public servant, spanning six decades, will always serve to inspire us.
It was during Mayor Schiebold’s tenure that the Historical Museum opened in 1972 with his encouraging support. He continued to be involved in the city - and with the museum - for decades after leaving office.
So some years before, when Max and Ethel Schiebold were moving out of their Lincoln Park home on Ford Blvd., the family made a gift to the museum of an extensive collection of materials related to Max’s years of service in city government, where he began as chairman of the Planning Commission, followed by 4 terms as councilman, and serving as 2-term mayor from 1971 to 1975.
We are honored to place a number of personal memorabilia along with family photographs in an exhibit to pay tribute to Max Schiebold and his service to Lincoln Park. This special exhibit will be on display from October 18th through November 15th.
Also, a public reception with the Schiebold Family will be held at the museum on Saturday, November 8th at 2:00 P.M.
