How Michigan Became Michigan

This is a past event.

Michigan's shape is unusual. Anyone working with a modern map is unlikely to have put these two peninsulas together. It happened due to some strange twists of history. Join us on Tuesday, September 23 at 4:30 pm in Graves Winants as John Daly explains how an inaccurate 1755 map led to Michigan’s boundaries, gave us Isle Royale National Park and started the Toledo war.
