The Historical Society of Michigan (HSM) announced today the release of a new version of its popular "Historic Michigan Travel Guide." Designed to expose readers to the wide variety to heritage travel destinations in the state, the fifth edition contains 30 percent more listings than the publication it replaces. "We've also reduced the guide's price from $9.95 to $6.95," noted HSM Executive Director Larry Wagenaar. "We hope to encourage more people to purchase it and plan a history-themed 'stay-cation' in our state."
First launched in the 1970s, the Historic Michigan Travel Guide is the only publication that promotes travel to Michigan's history museums, historic sites, and related destinations. The biggest museums, such as The Henry Ford, the Mackinac forts, and the Public Museum of Grand Rapids, are included as are small sites such as the Les Cheneaux Historical and Maritime Museums in Cedarville. The pocket-sized publication-measuring 8 inches high by 4 inches wide-lists 300 institutions and attractions in all, organized alphabetically by peninsula.
In turn, each listing contains key information, such as a GPS-ready address, operating hours, admission fees, exhibit and collection highlights, and annual events. Specifics such as the availability of onsite parking and accessibility are also addressed.
Commenting on the comprehensive nature of the publication, former Michigan Governor William Milliken said, "This new edition of the "Historic Michigan Travel Guide" will enable you to fully explore the fascinating story of our Great Lakes State."
Copies of the travel guide are sold at Meijer, Barnes & Noble, Borders, and independent bookstores and by phone through the Historical Society of Michigan at (800) 692-1828.
Sponsors include Meijer, the Huizenga Group, and the Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation.
The Historical Society of Michigan, the state’s oldest cultural organization, was founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft.
