[Michlib-l] Celebrate the Historical Society of Michigan's 190th Birthday

Thu Jun 21 14:03:16 EDT 2018

It's our 190TH birthday!

Hooray!

The Historical Society of Michigan's (HSM) founders, Lewis Cass and Henry
Schoolcraft, have joined the party and are busy celebrating our 190th
birthday weekend. Join us!

HSM was founded on June 23, 1828, to facilitate the growth and restoration
of Michigan's history. We're still kicking to this day with educational
programming, conferences, bus tours, magazines, publications, and more.but
we would not be here today without the support of our members and followers.
Join in on our birthday fun with special discounts on memberships, a
fun-themed donation of $1.90 toward our mortgage, or a larger donation of
$190 that includes a gift of a specialty Historic Michigan map. To learn
more about our birthday shenanigans, see below!

Help us with our mortgage!

In the spirit of our 190th birthday celebration, we are asking our members
and fellow Michiganders for a small online donation of $1.90 to help us
reduce our remaining mortgage costs. As a nonprofit, HSM is often left with
the daunting task of allocating funds for various programming and resources,
and our mortgage is a constant drain on our funds. Help us reduce our
remaining amount today!

1968

The year of the Detroit Tigers, 

and our 140th birthday!

Fifty years ago, in 1968, HSM turned 140 years old and cheered as our
beloved Detroit Tigers won the baseball world championship by making a
dramatic comeback to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Model T Ford, 

and HSM's 80th birthday!

In 1908, Henry Ford manufactured his first Model T. HSM was then a sprightly
80 years old. Today, we still drive awareness of Michigan history without
any state government funding.

1828 

Michigan Territory establishes Territorial Capitol,

HSM's first birthday

In the same year we were founded, the territory of Michigan (not yet a
state) built the Territorial Capitol building in Detroit for a cost of
$24,500. It takes a lot more than that these days for the Historical Society
of Michigan to keep the state's history alive through its Michigan History
magazine and statewide history conferences.
