Now in its 57th year, the Michigan in Perspective conference will take place
at the Best Western Sterling Inn Banquet & Conference Center in Sterling
Heights on March 13 and 14, 2015. The largest of HSM's three conferences,
the Michigan in Perspective: The Local History Conference offers a diverse
view of Michigan's past and is open to anyone interested in state or
regional history. 

 

This year's keynote topics range from Belle Isle and the DIA to a look at
the 13th Amendment 150 years later and how the automobile has influenced
fashion. Participants will have the opportunity to attend 25 breakout
sessions that address local and statewide history, explore the Edsel and
Eleanor Ford House during the Friday evening reception, and visit with
history-related exhibitors.
