Our State. Our Stories. Three Premiere Events.

Michigan in Perspective: Local History Conference
Held annually in the spring in the Metro Detroit area, this conference is open to anyone interested in state or regional history. It is HSM's largest annual conference and includes several keynotes, content sessions, and more.

Upper Peninsula History Conference
Our summer conference pays particular attention to U.P. history topics and themes, hosted by a new locale each year. The annual Upper Peninsula History Awards provide the capstone event of the conference.

Annual Meeting & Michigan History Conference
Our fall conference celebrates all aspects of Michigan’s history and offers a close-up look at the heritage of the host area. The event also contains the State History Awards and HSM's annual business meeting.
