True Tales from the Great Lakes State's Past-from the pageant of the Sault to a World Series that healed wounds Michigan is one-of-a-kind.

It Happened in Michigan goes behind the scenes to tell its story, in short episodes that reveal the intriguing people and events that have shaped the Great Lakes State.
