The Toledo War: The War Between Michigan and Ohio

Alan Naldrett, archivist/librarian at Baker College and lifetime member of the Chesterfield Township Historical Society, showcases the story of the unusual “war” that helped propel Michigan to statehood — and in which the only fatality was a pig and one of the major skirmishes involved plundering a vegetable garden. This presentation is part of a series of programs, Becoming Michigan: From Revolution to Statehood, at the Lorenzo Cultural Center.
