1956 video Predicting the future History Hounds lectures are now FREE for members of the Historical Society of Michigan, or for members of HSM's member organizations. Which OMPHS members "An HSM member organization has the option to live-stream the lecture for free for its members or offer the lecture to it membership for free remote viewing." I think it might be simpler at first just to let everyone know how to get in themselves.

THE MEMORIAL TREE PROJECT CONTINUES The northern end of Old Mission Peninsula on Center Road was once lined with magnificent old maple trees some over 100 years until age, salt and disease took them down. The Memorial Tree Project started in September 1999 under the direction of Rebecca and Leo Nothstine. It has continued since with over 650 trees planted and nourished. Many are memorial trees dedicated to specific individuals If you noticed new trees on Center Road, They are the result of hard work May 4th by some civic-minded volunteers. Masks and social distancing noted! Photos contributed by Brian Brooks
