A First Taste of Prohibition: Banning Booze in Midland - September 13

http://www.hsmichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/prohibition-dog.jpgAlth
ough Prohibition did not begin throughout the United States until 1920, the
Michigan city of Midland had already outlawed liquor 12 years earlier.
Filled with many historical images, this lecture tells the story of Midland
banning alcohol in 1908 and its continued exclusion of liquor-by-the-glass
until 1967 - 34 years after national Prohibition ended.

History HoundsT is a fun, interactive lecture series produced by the
Historical Society of Michigan centered around interesting historical
subjects from all areas of Michigan. 

Lectures are available for HSM members, and an HSM member organization has
the option to live-stream the lecture for its members. It is FREE to attend!

Remote attendance is also supported via our zoom communications system.

Michigan's Capital Moves to Lansing

Did you know Michigan's first state capital was in Detroit, not Lansing? 

Michigan's 1835 constitution stated that the capital would be in Detroit
until 1847, when the legislature would then decide on a permanent site. Many
towns wanted to become the capital, including Ann Arbor, Jackson, Marshall
and Grand Rapids. The legislature finally chose the nearly uninhabited
Lansing Township. When the location was chosen, Lansing Township was not
even a formal city-it became its own city after the capitol arrangements had
been made. 

The first capitol in Lansing was a wooden building and used from 1847 until
1878, when Michigan's current domed capitol was finished.

materials in their collections, this workshop will discuss proper storage

HSM's "Buggy" Visitor

On Tuesday, the Historical Society of Michigan had a visit from its first
"buggy" history fan. Those of you who follow us on Facebook probably noticed
our new history lover, but for those of you who missed out on the action,
here is a photo!

Our director, Larry Wagenaar, used his hand as a model for scale size as
this specimen was quite large. As many of you noted on Facebook, the mantis
community is out and about this season! This mantis female left our office
shortly after arriving, but we enjoyed her company while she visited us.
