Michigan National Parks
April 2nd, 2019
|| Tea – Hosted by Rosalie Plechaty ||
The National Park Service (NPS) is responsible for not only over 400 sites throughout the United States and Territories, it also administers many other federal programs that touch the lives of every citizen and visitor of our great nation. Many of these programs exist right here in our own back yard. Pat will shed some light on how the work of dedicated federal professionals are hard at work in offices and in the field throughout Michigan to protect and conserve special places and resources in partnership with other units of government, private organizations, and everyday citizens like us.
Van Buren County Museum
March 19th, 2019
|| Tea – Hosted by Julie Rubin ||
The Van Buren County Historical Society in Hartford is housed in an 1884 building, once the county Poorhouse. We will have a representative tell us about this three-story museum filled with memorabilia. South Haven history will be part of the program. Within this building is a one room school, a general store, a music room, an old fashioned kitchen, an old dentist office & more. After hearing all about the museum we may want to visit and see these items for ourselves.
