Join Holt-Delhi Historical Society president Jacob McCormick as we discuss the history of the Holt and Delhi Township community “doing history.” We think about the topic of “doing history” as the various efforts over time in the community to document, preserve, share, and celebrate its history. The program will cover the Delhi Centennial celebration in 1942, Delhi’s 125th Anniversary in 1967, the American Bicentennial in 1976, the Michigan Sesquicentennial celebration in 1987, Delhi Township’s Sesquicentennial in 1992, the creation of the Holt-Delhi Historical Society 10 years ago in 2014, and the Delhi Township 175th Anniversary celebration in 2017, as well as looking on the horizon to the U.S. Semiquincentennial (or 250th anniversary) in 2026.

The program will be held on Thursday, March 28, 2024, at the Holt Community Center and will double as a 10th birthday party for the HDHS.
