About Tales of Southwest Michigan's Past
Southwest Michigan is rich in history, as the region contains the second wave of twelve counties organized in the State in 1829. The stories encapsulate pioneer triumphs and tragedy, amazing events and resilient, enterprising and passionate people. The region developed along the Territorial Roads, connecting the first land routes between Detroit and Chicago, which later brought with it the railroads and modern highways. Starting from the Battle Creek regional area, and branching out from there, join me as I explore forgotten tales of Southwest Michigan’s past.

And then the, of course the cemetery is going to be, a part of this too, where we're going to have stops in the cemetery with a big sign that you can come up and also get QR codes on certain individuals who are buried there that have, you know, points of interest. And then we're going to incorporate some art as well. So it's going to be quite interactive. It's going to start at the Hammond house and then there'll be maps you can pick up and then you can go to the cemetery and get another map. […]
