Next meeting: Thursday, July 30, 2026 | 6:00pm-7:30pm

Carol Bacak-Egbo – Oakland County Historian

Not yet a state, the land that would come to be known in 1837 as Michigan played host to its share of intrigue and significance during the revolutionary period. This territory, which was home to Indigenous People for thousands of years, was the scene of fur trading, fort building, and changing loyalties. Join us at Next to hear from Oakland County historian Carol Bacak-Egbo explain what was happening in our state during this tumultuous period in history.
