January 18th is National Michigan, National Peking Duck, National Thesaurus, National Winnie The Pooh and more!
National Michigan Day
We began honoring each state in the order they were born in the union, beginning with Hawaii and ending with Hawaii on Independence Day. We've chosen a small piece of each state's past, foods, and the people who make up the state. There's so much more to discover, but we can't help but celebrate our beautiful country even more.
