Capitals & Capitols - Michigan’s Odyssey from Detroit to Lansing
Have you ever heard that your town was almost Michigan’s capital city? Travel back in time to the early days of statehood to learn about the history of Michigan’s two capital cities (Detroit and Lansing) and the three capitol buildings we’ve used since the territorial period. We will discuss the politics behind moving the capital and the process and challenges of constructing each of our three buildings, as told by the men and women who participated in these projects.
