Note the location Change above!!
Chuck Jager will be our presentor for the meeting on August 11th. The meeting will be held at the Morton House Museum from 12:30 to 1:30. The 2 areas where they house documents, maps, and books are in smaller rooms, so we will go in smaller groups in rotation so Chuck can show everyone what is available for research. They have a number of photos and maps in the collection along with cemetery information for Crystal Springs and the Morton Cemetery.
While the groups take turns going through the document room, the rest of us can walk around the Morton House and see their displays, which this summer is a tribute to Benton Harbor Schools including Benton Harbor Public Schools, St. Johns Catholic School, Benton Harbor College, and Lake Michigan College.
Note: There is also a DAR marker in front of the museum in commemoration of the pioneers that used Territorial Road to settle in Michigan.
The Morton House is located at 501 Territorial Road, and there is onsite parking if you turn onto North Hull Avenue. There is a paved driveway behind the house. Here is a link to the location:
