Legends and Lore of the Great Sauk Trail

The Sauk Trail, a Native pathway that began at the Detroit River, ran along
much of what is today US-12. Our speaker will address the importance of the
Great Sauk Trail and also explain how Potawatomi Chief White Pigeon
sacrificed his life to save a European American settlement in present-day
St. Joseph County. 

Of Icebergs and Inquiries: Michiganders on the Titanic

When the RMS Titanic went down in 1912, many Michiganders-a

number of whom hailed from Southwestern Michigan-tragically lost their
lives.

Within a week, U.S. Senator William Alden Smith, a native of Dowagiac,
convened

the U.S. inquiry into the disaster. 

At the Depot: The Making of a Museum

At the Sturgis Historical Museum, small-town exhibits have been created with
big-city

pizazz. The developers of the new museum have created an exciting and
engaging

experience by utilizing multimedia platforming. This keynote will explore
the development of the Sturgis Historical Museum and how it has incorporated
tools and techniques of the twenty-first century.

Colon: Magic Capital of the World

How did Colon, Michigan-a small town of 1,200-become a mecca for the

magicians of the world? Come hear the speaker, dressed as historical
magician Harry Blackstone, tell the story of how the tiny town of Colon
became known near and far as the magic capital of the world.

Eva McCall Hamilton

Eva McCall Hamilton, the first woman ever elected to the Michigan
Legislature, was well-known for her countless actions toward advancing the
women's suffrage movement. After moving to Grand Rapids in the 1910s, she
became involved in politics and encouraged women to take a larger role in
public affairs. She helped establish the Michigan League of Women Voters in
Grand Rapids in 1919 and was elected into the Michigan Senate one year after
the Nineteenth Amendment became law.
