Upper Peninsula History Conference
The 69th annual Upper Peninsula History Conference will be held June 22-24, 2018, in St. Ignace.
The annual Upper Peninsula History Conference pays particular attention to U.P. history topics and themes. This conference moves to a different location in the Upper Peninsula each year to also explore that area’s heritage. In addition, the annual Upper Peninsula History Awards are presented at this conference.
Registration is now closed. Walk-ins are still welcome, but meal tickets will not be available.
