Michigan, the Wolverine State

"The Wolverine State" is one of Michigan's traditional nicknames-but how
common are these iconic animals? Wolverines rarely, if ever, lived in
Michigan. So how did Michigan get that nickname? One belief is that people
in Ohio began to call Michiganders "wolverines" during a quarrel over the
state border in 1835. Wolverines are ornery animals, so Ohioans likened
their neighbors to them. By 1861, University of Michigan sports teams had
begun using the nickname Wolverines to equate themselves with those fierce
animals.

A Great Time to Give

As a non-governmental nonprofit, the Historical Society of Michigan depends
on gifts from individuals like you to fund the work of preserving and
presenting the rich, colorful history of our state. We provide a multitude
of historical programs, conferences, community resources, and publications
that are used to enhance Michigan's history and help preserve its various
historical organizations and programs. We work toward educating and
preserving the rich cultural history of Michigan, and we look for ways to
preserve the history of the past, the present, and the future. 

For the 2017 Giving Tuesday season, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
has partnered with Facebook to provide a Giving Tuesday donation match-for
each donation a nonprofit organization receives on Giving Tuesday through
Facebook, the foundation will match that donation. This is a monumental step
for HSM, and for many other nonprofits, since it provides us with that extra
"oomph" we can use to help our programs and missions continue. 

 <https://www.facebook.com/hsmichigan/> Please stay tuned to our Facebook
page for more information on how to help HSM share Michigan's history for
years to come. 

We thank all of our members, supporters, subscribers, and fellow history
fans for all that you do to help us tell Michigan's stories.

Giving Tuesday is held on November 28.

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.
