Visit Michigan
Be a tourist, an environmentalist or an outdoors enthusiast in the Lakes and
Land gallery at the Michigan Historical Museum.
 Lakes and Land presents Michigan during the 1970s. The gallery overlooks the three-story
topographic map in the museum's atrium entrance. The map—a reminder of the
natural forces and resources that shape our history—provides a
background for stories about the recreational, industrial and commercial uses of
Michigan's land and water.
- Visit the summer, autumn and winter dioramas.
- Learn how Michiganians dealt with concerns about water, land and air quality during this
"environmental decade."
- See tourism establish itself as a
leading industry, challenging agriculture for second place (after
manufacturing).
- Relive the "up north" experience on the porch of a log
cabin.
- Learn about the importance of preserving the state's lighthouses and
underwater resources in the maritime exhibit.
