John Daly to Discuss
The Albion Historical Society is excited to announce that John L. Daly will be presenting a talk on February 22, 2025, at 1 p.m. at Stirling Books & Brew as part of our annual speaker series. John's presentation is entitled "How Michigan Became Michigan" and will illustrate how an inaccurate 1755 map led to Michigan's boundaries, gave us Isle Royale National Park, and started the Toledo War.
An Albion native, John Daly spent much of his career training corporate financial professionals. He is the author of Pricing for Profitability, a novel, Tool & Die, eight one-act plays, and numerous professional articles. He has had a lifelong interest in history, and this presentation is based on his Michigan History Magazine article, "The Misleading Mitchell Map: Isle Royale and the Toledo War."
Stirling Books & Brew is located at 119 N. Superior Street in Albion. This event is free and open to the public.

How to Contact Us While We Are Building Our New Web Site...
The Albion Historical Society is currently building a new website. The current one has been around for ten years already, which means it is from the dark ages. In fact, due to its age, the "Contact Us" link had to be removed. In the interim, please know that you may still reach us at info(insert the "at" sign)albionhistoricalsociety.org. We hope to have the new site in operation by late spring.
