Northern Now: U.P. History with Local Historians and Alumni

Join us on Wednesday, May 26 at 7 p.m. Eastern as we welcome alumni and local historians Barry James ‘92 and Troy Henderson ‘99. The pair will take the audience through time with a look at U.P. history, highlighting the Fayette Historic State Park on the Big Bay de Noc, the Michigan Iron Industry Museum in Negaunee, and the Fort Wilkins Historic State Park in Copper Harbor.

Early history of the U.P. and how people came here will be discussed during the presentation, followed by a live Q&A session facilitated by Susy Ziegler, NMU professor and department head of Earth, Environmental and Geographical Sciences and associate dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.
