Lamps of the South Haven Lighthouse – A History of Lighting from 1872–1932
Oct 21, 7:00 PM
Overview
Join the Historical Association of South Haven as we host our annual Open House and membership drive kick-off on Saturday, May 23rd from 6:00-9:00pm at Forest House in downtown South Haven.
Our program this year features Keith Howard, who will present “Prohibition Era Brewing in Southwest Michigan”. This will be an exploration of the rich history of pre-prohibition brewing in our corner of Michigan. Keith will reveal newly discovered facts about some of the first brewers in the area nearly 200 years ago and we will learn how “local option” brought an end to the era in 1915.
Keith Howard is a digital preservation specialist at the Kalamazoo Public Library and a former instructor of business communication and information technology at Western Michigan University. He is a two-time WMU graduate with a passion for exploring and documenting local history, as well as a postcard collector and writer.
Our open house begins at 6:00 with themed cocktails and light hors d’oeuvres. The program will start at 7:30. Please plan to join us at Forest House – 313 Center St. – for an evening of entertainment!
