Join Mackinac State Historic Parks for Some 'History at Home'

 Mackinac State Historic Parks’ museums may be closed for winter, but you can still get a taste of Mackinac history – at home!

            Lead Civilian Interpreter for Mackinac State Historic Parks, Devan McNabb, will host Some Tea and Loaf Sugar: Tea and Society at Michilimackinac, part of our History at Home series, on Wednesday, February 25, at 7:00 p.m. over Zoom. This program is part of our year-long America250 celebration.

            By the 1770s tea was the beverage of choice in most British households at Michilimackinac. The popularity of tea and other natural resources (furs, silk, spices) helped shape Britain’s global empire in even remote areas like Michilimackinac, and this hot drink played a key role in the development of the British economy and social hierarchy during the era of the American Revolution. During this engaging program, McNabb will lead a discussion of what we can learn about 18^th century British society by brewing a simple cup of tea.

            Cost for the program is $10. A Zoom link will be sent the day before the program to those that registered. Click here to register.
