Already Tired of Holiday Shopping?

It's already December, and the stores are packed with not only gifts but
also hordes of people. If you're tired of the crowds and are still looking
for creative gifts to give from the comfort of your own home, consider
giving the gift of Michigan History magazine!

Our bimonthly magazine is full of historical articles, unique tidbits and
trivia, and travel tips for any Michigander. We consistently feature content
from all corners of the state and bring to life the culturally diverse and
historically significant moments in Michigan's history-from pre-European
settlement all the way to the 1980s!

Topics are limitless-we cover them all! From wartime and historical recipes
to Native-American culture and the Roaring Twenties to art, culture, and
maritime lore, we are sure to have a topic for any history fan. 

Don't stress over the shopping lines-

Making "JIFFY" Mixes

Did you know "JIFFY" mixes were invented in Chelsea, Michigan? Mabel White
Holmes had the idea for "JIFFY" baking mixes. She wanted to save people time
and money in the kitchen by including as many ingredients as possible in one
box. In April 1930, "JIFFY" mixes were first shared with the public by the
Chelsea Milling Company. The plant in Chelsea is the only factory that makes
"JIFFY" products. Today, Mabel's grandson, Howard Samuel Holmes, runs the
Chelsea Milling Company.

Michiganders on the Road Presents "Founding of America" Tour

We know Michigan is a great state for culture and history. But we also know
there is some great history in the other 49 states as well. That's why we
developed our "Michiganders on the Road" motor coach tours-and we've already
set our sights on 2018!

How did our nation come about? What did the Founders envision for their
country? Can a government of the people, by the people, and for the people
survive? As one historian has put it, "the road from Jamestown leads to
Gettysburg." We'll discover how the United States originated and how it was
sustained in our 9-day, 8-night Founding of America Tour. History-packed,
fun-filled, and bursting with good eats along the way, this tour is sure to
delight anyone looking for a historical adventure with fellow Michiganders.
