My apologies if this is a duplicate - I am also sending to my personal contacts. Larry June 5, 2014 HSM's New Partnership With MLive Shines a Spotlight on Michigan's Historical Destinations! The Historical Society of Michigan is partnering with MLive newspapers, formerly Booth Newspapers, to provide readers with detailed information about the hundreds of historical destinations throughout Michigan. Each week, the MLive "Travel" pages will feature one of the 475-plus museums, historic sites, and history attractions that are listed in HSM's Historic Michigan Travel Guide. The MLive papers are The Ann Arbor News, The Bay City Times, The Flint Journal, The Grand Rapids Press, Jackson Citizen Patriot, Kalamazoo Gazette, Muskegon Chronicle, and The Saginaw News.

The articles contain a brief description; a photo; details on location, hours, admission cost, and visitor accessibility; and contact information of the historical destination. This partnership with MLive is another benefit for our member organizations, and it focuses on one of our five mission points: support for local history organizations. Plus, this is a great opportunity for the public to learn more about Michigan's diverse heritage and cultures. It's another way that HSM is keeping Michigan's history at everyone's fingertips. <http://www.hsmichigan.org/store/books/> Interested in purchasing a Historic Michigan Travel Guide?
