175 Years and Counting . . .

I fell in love with Colon, Michigan over 45 years ago and it's history is so fascinating. So you can imagine how excited I was when we were given a collection of hundreds of documents and photographs from Colon's early years. Thanks to Leonard Burnham for everything! What a find - a letter from A. Shelhaus, who founded Colon in 1831 - handwritten deeds and so much more including graduation books, memorabilia and such. We will be posting these items on our soon to be revamped website - www.colonmichigan.org - which gives you an insight into Colon's wonderful history.

Stay tuned!
