It's BACK TO SCHOOL time!
 
Not really, just a visit back in time to a two room schoolhouse in the rural Upper Peninsula community of Covington, Michigan.  See the old water fountain at the top of the stairs, the chalkboards and the school bell, George Washington and the United States flag adorning the walls.
 
And now, thanks to Covington Township, the old school has a new life - an artist gallery and marketplace filled with the creative vision and spirit of the people of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  Some of them have lived in the U.P. for a long time, others are seasonal or new residents.  They all have something in common - they love to create, often using nature itself in the form of raw materials or as inspiration.
 
Market Hours are Thursday - Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 
 
WE ARE OPEN MAY 1 - SEPTEMBER 30 

Limited online shopping is available and will be expanding in the near future ~ until then, please feel free
