South Haven Scott Club - Center for cultural programs since 1883

April 18, 2026 – Open House Celebrating the Lift

Open House Celebration from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. – All Welcome!

Join the Scott Club in celebrating completion of the Lift Project. This project involved constructing a shaft and installing an elevator-style lift to move between the ground level and upper level at the South Haven Scott Club, a Michigan Historic Site. The lift is a wheelchair lift that is ADA compliant with an ADA hands-free emergency phone. It accommodates a person in a wheelchair with one more person, or a total of three people standing. Previously the only access between the two levels was a steep, narrow staircase.

Come over and try out the new lift, take a tour of the Literary Hall upstairs, and enjoy light refreshments. If you have never been inside the Scott Club-take this opportunity! If it’s been a while, come and see this latest significant improvement. Use either the main entrance on the corner of Phoenix and Pearl Streets or enter on the ground level, east side of the building.

Scott Club is grateful to the many donors and volunteers who helped make this project possible, ensuring Scott Club programs and concerts are fully accessible to all.

April 21, 2026: Journey to the End of the World-The Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and Antarctica

By Martha Lohrstorfer

1:00 p.m.
At the Scott Club

Join us for a trip to the “end of the world” as described by Martha about her most recent adventure. Her program will take us on a visual tour to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Antarctica.

Martha is a retired Kalamazoo librarian who moved to South Haven 20 years ago. She and her husband John are active disaster responders with the Red Cross. Martha has deployed 41 times all over the country, including Guam. When they are not traveling with the Red Cross, they enjoy adventures to not so well-known spots – like Antarctica.

May 5, 2026: Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History

By South Haven History Club Students

The 2026 National History Day theme is “Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History”. This theme, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the United States, invites students to explore the interconnectedness of these concepts, where one often triggers the others in a cycle of societal change.

Each year the hard-working students, led by teacher Julie Sheppard, prepare for competition at the state and national levels. We are honored to have the history students perform their presentations live at Scott Club. Join us to hear, see and learn how much work they put into their award-winning presentations.

A musician, composer, producer, educator, DJ, and recording artist from Washington, D.C., REDWOOD (born Sequoia Snyder) is redefining the boundaries of contemporary jazz. A recent graduate of Michigan State University’s Jazz Studies program, she has been mentored by jazz luminaries including Rodney Whitaker, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Jason Moran.

Fostered by early influences in gospel, R&B, hip-hop funk, soul, and pop, REDWOOD’s passion and talent led her to the prestigious Duke Ellington School of the Arts. Her work has earned national recognition, including the Kennedy Center’s Betty Carter Jazz Ahead Residency and participation in Dee Dee Bridgewater’s Woodshed Network.

REDWOOD has performed with an impressive range of artists, including Kenny Barron, Cory Henry, Teri Lyne Carrington, Patrice Rushen, Jazzmeia Horn, Afrobeats star CKay, and the R&B band The Internet. She has also appeared with the New York City Ballet and at the Roots Picnic music festival.

Her debut album, Red 2 Go, showcases both her vocal and production talents and has been praised by outlets such as Earmilk, Stereofox, and NUNAR Magazine. Recent singles including “Dub” (featuring Ekep Nkwelle) and “Nana” further highlight her deep musical roots and personal storytelling. Earlier work, including her 2019 EP Sempervirens, reflects an artist whose originality defies easy categorization.

This concert is presented in collaboration with Foundry Hall and supported in part by Holtec-Palisades, Low Family Foundation, and Rotary Club of South Haven in memory of Carole Hodgman.
