“Thank God for Michigan!”
It’s been said President Abraham Lincoln uttered those famous words when the First Michigan Infantry, made up from men from Detroit and outlying communities, became the first western regiment to arrive in Washington D.C. in response to the President’s call to defend and preserve our nation.
While the brutal battles of this divisive war that threatened to destroy the United States took place hundreds and thousands of miles away, Glory, Valor & Sacrifice Civil War Remembrance Tours pay homage to the local people, places and events that played prominent roles in preserving the Union and shaping our Nation’s history.
Join Hometown History Tours on these narrated bus excursions throughout southeast Michigan as we celebrate our region’s vibrant history and bring to life the stories of the people who valiantly served and sacrificed in the name of our great nation.
Designed to appeal to locals as well as out-of-town tourists, the Glory, Valor & Sacrifice SE MI Civil War Remembrance Tours traverse a historic trail created by linking together local museum exhibits, forts, monuments, markers, forgotten landmarks and cemeteries centered around the Civil War.
