Your membership contribution allows the Michigan City Historical Society to continue to tell the story of Hoosiers living on Lake Michigan. Thanks to supporters like you, we are able to continue to operate the Old Lighthouse Museum, conduct research requests, preserve history, and provide educational outreach to over 600 students each year.
