MRHC Presents: Sugarloaf Bart King Monument Centennial

Bart King Memorial on Sugarloaf Mountain

The Marquette Regional History Center Presents: Sugarloaf Bart King Monument Centennial

Wednesday, September 22, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. 

Back in the late fall of 1921, a group of community members and Boy Scouts finished a stone monument on the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. This monument stands today, 100 years later, to recognize a WWI soldier from Marquette, Bart King. We will commemorate his life and sacrifice during WWI along with the volunteers who built this monument. This included stone mason Harmidas Dupras, and scout leaders such as Perry Hatch, who organized the large effort of hauling stones and supplies. 

Start your hike at our information table at the new south parking lot. Join us at 6:00 at the top of Sugarloaf for a short presentation on the history of this centennial monument. Free and open to the public; donations always appreciated.
