Award-winning Michigan author/historian Larry C. Massie will present the program “In Michigan’s Past” at The History Center at Courthouse Square in Berrien Springs on Thursday, June 24, at 6:30 p.m.

“In Michigan’s Past” kicks off the History Center’s annual “Thursdays at Courthouse Square” series of six programs.

The program will be held at the History Center (1839 Courthouse Museum) at 313 N. Cass St. in Berrien Springs.

Admission is free.

Massie, a dynamic storyteller and historian, has written 20 books about  Michigan history.

He is also the first-ever recipient of the Historical Society of Michigan’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

His program will focus on Great Lakes sailors, Potawatomi warriors, French explorers and pioneer settlers.

His performance combines true stories with humor, and he entertains anyone who has ever felt the lure of glorious Lake Michigan.

The History Center’s summer evening program series returns this year through a grant from the Greater Berrien Springs Community Endowment.

A $2,000 grant from the foundation funded the presenters, along with a new projector screen and advertising costs.

Programs run every Thursday evening through July 29.
