Let it snow! Let it snow! The Historical Society of Greater Lansing will host the program “Snow, Floods and Fires,” which is a look back at the major natural and manmade disasters that shaped Lansing history.

The program will be held 6:30 p.m., Thursday, January 25 at the Library of Michigan 702 W. Kalamazoo, Lansing MI. The event is free and open to the public.

Guests are encouraged to bring their own memories of these disasters and are encouraged to send any photographs of these events to info@lansinghistory.org.

Major snow storms to be discussed will include the January 25, 1967, blizzard and the 1978 snowstorm which dropped 19 inches of snow almost exactly 11 years after the 67 blizzard. Both paralyzed Lansing. A storm in 1921 dropped more than 18 inches in Lansing.

Fires will include several downtown Lansing hotels including the Kerns Hotel fire, Plymouth Congregational Church, the State Office Building fire and the February 1971 fire in Old Town (occurring only a couple days after the Plymouth Church Fire), which consumed two blocks.

Floods will include the 1975, 1904, and 1947 floods of Lansing.
