Thank you to the volunteers that planted over 10,000 flowers on the Capitol lawn yesterday! When we roll our sleeves and work together, there's nothing we can't do 🌸

The search is on for the 2026 Michigan Christmas tree! We know it may be silly to start thinking about Christmas but now is the ideal time to spot the perfect tree with warmer weather quickly approaching and before the trees fully leaf out. Learn more: go.mi.gov/hpzby2484

In 1869 Harriet Tenney made history as the first WOMAN to lead a MI state department. Smart, determined, and savvy, she made it possible for women to work in government, libraries, and museums. Explore her significance and achievements in the #LibraryofMichigan's new exhibit.

Womens' rights were debated in all three Michigan Capitols. This 1875 article notes that Augusta Chapin gave an invocation for the Senate. One of the first women to be ordained in the U.S., Chapin was an American Universalist minister in Lansing in the 1860’s #womenshistorymonth

Many late 19th century state capitols are topped with lofty domes. Inspired by the U.S. Capitol, many states included a dome when building their own capitols after the Civil War. Learn all about #mistatecapitol architecture on our YouTube page! bit.ly/exteriorarchitecture
