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 our founders envision for the United
States? 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.

History HoundsT Presents.

Millennial Visions & Earthly Pursuits: The Israelite House of David

January 10, 2018

with Bob Myers

Millennialist preachers Benjamin and Mary Purnell founded the Israelite
House of David in Benton Harbor in 1903. Their religious commune soon
gathered hundreds of members and became an economic powerhouse, including an
amusement park, jazz band, and baseball team. Scandals and feuds rocked the
colony, but it survives as one of America's oldest communal orders.

All History Hounds lectures began at 7 p.m. and take place at the Meijer
Education Center at the Historical Society of Michigan. Members of the
Society can attend for free, and non-members can attend for $7/person.
