Upper Peninsula History Conference

The Historical Society of Michigan has canceled the 2020 Upper Peninsula History Conference due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The conference was scheduled to be held June 19-21, 2020, in Bay Mills/Brimley, Michigan.

As with all things with the coronavirus, the conditions for June are still unknown, but we feel strongly this is the right course of action for our attendees, speakers, and exhibitors under these very difficult circumstances. We know many of you will be disappointed by this decision. We have asked all of the speakers to consider returning in 2021 so that we can offer the same wonderful content that was already planned for the 2020 program. We are very sorry we have had to make this extremely difficult decision and appreciate your understanding. We wish you all good health, and we thank you for your continued support of the Historical Society of Michigan!

The 71st annual Upper Peninsula History Conference will be held in Bay Mills/Brimley, Michigan, on June 25-27, 2021.
