Mission:

The Fishtown Preservation Society seeks to preserve the historical integrity of Leland, Michigan’s Fishtown property and insure that it continues as a publicly accessible and authentic connection to local and regional history, Great Lakes commercial fishing, and maritime traditions and experiences.
