A Calvin College student got a first-hand look at Michigan's history this past
year when he worked on the 2008 edition of the Historic Michigan Travel Guide,
the first update to the guide since 1980.
The guide, released last month and sold at the state's 92 Meijer stores, is
published by the Historical Society of Michigan. Meijer provided $30,000 in
funding for the update.
Quinn Harr, a Calvin junior and Michigan native who hails from Pewamo, located
just northwest of Lansing, was an assistant editor on the project thanks to an
internship he did with the Society. He said the recent experience was a good
one.
"The opportunity to help compile the guide was both exciting and educational,"
Harr said. “By working on the travel guide, I contributed to an important
project and learned more about the fascinating history of our state."
His work on the guide included both research on the state's historical
attrations, but also writing the descriptive entries for the guide.
