Michigan Civil War Sesquicentennial History Partners

(Partners with the State Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission/Committee)


The Michigan Civil War Sesquicentennial History Partners is composed of individuals, organizations, and communities throughout the state interested in commemorating and promoting the Civil War Sesquicentennial (2011 - 2015) and Michigan's role in that war. Comprising the Civil War History Partners are over 1,000 Civil War reenactors and living history historians; Civil War patriotic and hereditary organizations; Civil War scholars and educators, Civil War Roundtables; local and statewide libraries, historical societies, and genealogical societies; local and statewide museums; and numerous local Michigan communities that sponsor special and annual historical programs related to the Civil War.

On April 22, 2010, the Michigan Historical Commission unanimously adopted a motion that formally approved the partnership between its Civil War Sesquicentennial Committee and the Civil War History Partners Steering Group for the purposes of carrying out, and as decreed in, Executive Order 2007-52, the commemoration of Michigan‘s role in the Civil War. This action formally recognized the role of the Michigan Civil War Sesquicentennial History Partners in assisting the state in the planning, promotion, and implementation of the Civil War Sesquicentennial activities in the state.

In addition to assisting the Michigan Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission/Committee during the Civil War Sesquicentennial, one of the primary goals of the Michigan Civil War History Partners is to help facilitate among all the History Partners communications, coordination, and promotion of their special events, programs, commemorations, etc. for the Sesquicentennial.
