cid:image002.jpg@01D2700F.B8241B00 Join Michiganders on the RoadT 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! <https://hsmichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Gateway-West-itinerary.pd f> See the full tour itinerary. <http://hsmichigan.org/programs/michiganders-on-the-road/gateway-west-regist ration/> Register online. <https://hsmichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Gateway-West-registration .pdf> Download the registration form. $1,995* *Includes motor coach transportation; all lodging; all dinners and breakfasts; and all admission fees, taxes, and gratuities.

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 of education. When planning the adventures, Myers keeps in mind what history enthusiasts look for in their road trips so that the experience meets expectations. _____ cid:image001.jpg@01CF8A43.BF828E40 _____ The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft.
