MHA Restoration Shop

Welcome to The MHA Restoration Shop - a brand new educational mentoring program being developed by the MHA.

MHA has partnered with Hagerty Insurance to receive damaged boats from their claims department for the Restoration Shop. Working with high school students from the TBA Career-Tech Center in Traverse City and our own volunteers, we will restore these boats to show condition.
The boats will be the vehicle by which we show the students that honest work, integrity, and mastery of a craft are among life's greatest achievements. Upon completion, these boats will added to our fleet or sold to help fund the next boat project.

This new program is partially funded by the Collectors Foundation, a national education grant-making organization, initiated by Hagerty Insurance of Traverse City and funded by a growing network of collector vehicle and classic boat enthusiasts to serve young people. The Foundation has provided a 5 year, $50,000 challenge grant to support this program.

To learn how you can get involved with this unique new mentoring program, call Mark Thompson @ 231-645-1625 or by email:
