Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. The first edition was published on January 10, 1776, with an initial print run of just 1,000 copies; but within weeks demand soared. The students of Andy Murphy’s POLISCI 495 course co-curated the exhibition “Revolutionary Paine” to document the whirlwind caused by its publication. On view at the Clements January 16-May 8, weekdays from 12-4 pm.
Dress up derby or cowboy/cowgirl themed and party for a cause at the beautiful Abraham Ranch in Clarkston. Proceeds fund the non-profit horse and farm animal rescue and rehabilitation work. Explore the 100+ acre property and the iconic big red barn by foot or via hay ride. Attendees can interact with rescued horses, cows, goats, pigs, donkeys, sheep and more! There will be delicious food, an open bar and viewing of the derby. The event will be indoor and outdoor, so inclement weather will not be an issue. This is the inaugural derby party of what will become an annual event. Abraham Ranch is not open to the public regularly, so don't miss this chance!
It’s the summer of 1776, and the nation is ready to declare independence … if only the founding fathers agree to it! This musical follows John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson as they attempt to convince members of Congress to sign the Declaration of Independence. With humor and a stirring score, the Tony® Award-winning musical presents the frustrations and triumphs of our founding fathers. Presented in partnership with the Midland County Historical Society, and in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States. 1776 brings a fresh look at the people, and the compromises that defined a revolution.
