Join Michiganders on the Road™

as we head west this fall…

 

The American West is part of our American heritage, from Horace Greeley’s admonition “Go West, Young Man” to the TV westerns of our youth. Our October 5-13, 2019, Gateway to the West Tour explores the Missouri and Kansas region that served as the gateway to the American West.

 

Our nine-day, eight-night tour explores historic sites in Missouri and Kansas: the Gateway to the West. We’ll visit Cahokia Mounds, the Old Cowtown and National Frontier Trails Museums, Fort Larned National Historic Site, the Great Plains Nature Center, the homes of U.S. Presidents Truman and Eisenhower, the National WWI Museum, and much more.

 

We’ll also enjoy a chuck wagon dinner, a railroad dinner train, and a steamboat dinner cruise!

Join us for the four-day, three-night America’s Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright Tour from  August 17-20, 2019, as we explore the life of Frank Lloyd Wright, a brilliant architect and a problematic personality. Controversy, scandal, and even murder swirled through his life. He designed buildings that have become World Heritage Sites, created new architectural styles, and integrated his structures with the surrounding landscape. He also undercut his first employer; made impossible demands on builders; left his wife for a married woman; and suffered the loss of his wife, friends, and home in an arson-murder. Wright’s biography is more astounding than fiction—and we’ll experience the whole story on our tour.

The Michiganders on the Road motor coach tour program was developed by HSM to allow participants to experience the culture and heritage of all 50 states. The excursions are not “cookie cutter” tours. Each and every tour is planned, executed, and guided by Robert Myers, HSM’s director for education programs and events. When planning the adventures, Myers keeps in mind what history enthusiasts look for in their road trips so that the experience meets expectations.
