    Default Becoming Michigan: From Revolution to Statehood, Lorenzo Cultural Center, Feb 25-May5

    Becoming Michigan: From Revolution to Statehood, Lorenzo Cultural Center, Macomb Community College, Saturday, February 25 through Saturday, May 5, 2012.

    The Lorenzo Cultural Center takes a look at our state's early history to life through a wide range of exhibits, presentations and activities.

    Explore the places, people and events that were instrumental in the birthing of the only state in the nation that is comprised of two distinct peninsulas.

    Discover the diverse facets of the state's early history, beginning with many of the historic events and cultural influences that preceded Michigan's entry into the union.

    Delve into the issues of the times, including the battle for the control of the Great Lakes, the booming fur trade, and the dissension between Native Americans and early settlers.

    Learn about Michigan's part, including the infamous Surrender of Detroit, in what is sometimes known as the Second American Revolution-the War of 1812, which spawned an upsurge in American nationalism and a symbol to support it, The Star Spangled Banner.

    And, discover the role the Toledo War, the nearly bloodless boundary dispute between the State of Ohio and Territory of Michigan, had in propelling Michigan to statehood in January 1837.

    Exhibits are open Wednesday-Saturday, 10-4, and Sunday 1-4. Free admission!

    Each week, there are several presentations by scholars and experts scheduled. Free of charge; pre-registration required; call 586-445-7348 or register online at http://www.lorenzoculturalcenter.com...gistration.asp
