U.P. 183rd Birthday Event Saturday In Marquette

Join us on December 14, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm at the Marquette Regional History Center, as we celebrate the Upper Peninsula’s 183^rd birthday. On December 14, 1836 during the “Frostbitten Convention” the State of Michigan accepted ¾ of the U.P. in exchange for the Toledo Strip. Soon after Michigan was admitted to the Union as the 26^th state. State Representative Sarah Cambensy and Mark Ruge, native of Menominee Michigan and former chief of staff to Congressman Bob Davis, will speak at 1:30 pm about the “Frostbitten Convention” and the details of this important decision for the State of Michigan. We will celebrate with a song and serve birthday cake and coffee. For more information call 906.226.3571 or go online www.marquettehistory.org.
