The conference will be held at the Onsted Elementary School, 10109 Slee Road, just down the road from the Wooden Old Stone Schoolhouse, (11992 Stephenson Road) whose Association is our host.

The keynote speaker is Dr. John Geisler whose presentation "Native Trials and U.S. 12" will give us an informative and interesting look at the pathways and highways in southern Michigan. Geisler's presentation will cover early trails made by mastodons and early native Americans, to early Michigan roads and the history of one particular road - the Great Sauk Trail - U.S. 12.
