The Story of Legs Inn with George Smolak

For more than a century, the distinctive and unusual architecture of Legs Inn has made it one of northern Michigan’s most recognizable landmarks. Join the Harbor Springs Area Historical Society to welcome George Smolak to present on the history of this one-of-a-kind Cross Village institution.

George will share the story of his uncle, Polish immigrant Stanley Smolak, who settled in Cross Village in 1921 and spent decades transforming local stone, timber, driftwood and other found materials into the remarkable building and furnishings visitors know today. Drawing on his own experiences as a member of the Smolak family and longtime operator of Legs Inn, George will offer a personal perspective on the history and continuing legacy of this beloved local landmark.

This talk will be held at the Harbor Springs Lyric Theater. Concessions will be available for purchase. Advanced registration is required. To register, visit HarborSpringsHistory.org or call 231-526-9771.
