The Historical Society of Greater Lansing is again pleased to extend the invitation from our friends at the Michigan State Capitol to attend the next installment of their Rise and Progress monthly programming series. This month’s program is titled “Built to Endure” and welcomes a new exhibit to the Capitol building.

People who work in, and care for, the Capitol are most successful when they think long-term. Unfortunately, not all the building’s caretakers have been good at this. In the mid 20th century many original items were removed and replaced. Join Valerie Marvin and Brian Page, with the Michigan State Capitol, as they unveil a new exhibit, The Michigan State Capitol: Built to Endure, and celebrate the return of some important Capitol artifacts, including the original House rostrum top, a 20th century Senate chandelier, and a beautifully recreated Senate Library bookcase!

Offered in person and virtual on January 16, 2024. Please RSVP to capitoltourguides@legislature.mi.gov.
