Join us, as the Mackinac Center honors our 250th anniversary of American independence, by proudly hosting Larry Reed, President Emeritus of the Mackinac Center for a thought-provoking presentation on the “Real Heroes of the American Revolution.” Larry’s research and gifted storytelling shine a light on the unsung patriots whose principles and bravery advanced liberty, limited government, and the founding ideals we champion today. His new book, Born of Ideas: How Principles, Faith, and Courage Forged America, is available for pre-order on Amazon.
Connect with fellow friends of freedom at the headquarters of the Mackinac Center in downtown Midland. This event is free but seating is limited, so advance registration is required.
