Program Description

Event Details

 

Andrew Kercher from the Port Huron Museum is back by popular demand to help us celebrate America's 250th birthday!

In some ways it was a frontier far from the  battlefields, it was still vital to the struggle for North America. From the British stronghold at Detroit, where alliances with Native nations shaped the conflict in the Great  Lakes, to Michilimackinac controlling trade and communication routes,  Michigan’s wilderness was a stage for intrigue and shifting loyalties. 

These stories reveal how Michigan’s early history was tied to global empires, contested alliances, and the birth of a new nation.
