Return to A Capital City
Mystery Plate
This plate in the state government section of the Lansing
1897 exhibit commemorates the capitol. From the collections of the Michigan Historical
Museum, there is no information about it in the curator's files. Either the plate was
donated without any information being given, or the information was lost many years ago.
The plate probably dates from between 1880 and 1915. An inscription below the picture of
the capitol building reads: STATE CAPITOL, LANSING, MICH. The ironstone plate is
six and three-quarter inches in diameter and has a chip on the bottom edge. There may be
other plates like it, and someone may have more information about their origin and use. If
you can solve the mystery, please contact
