The Michigan American Local History Network is a central web page from which independent web sites containing historical or genealogical content about Michigan or it's counties, are linked. 

If you are interested in hosting a Michigan county, please contact Bonnie McVicar-Briggs,  or Lesley Moss , the State Coordinators for Michigan. We will be happy to help you. We would be happy to have volunteers who prefer to host a township, city or cover a topic in a township too, such as religion, history, cemeteries, occupations, etc. We can easily link your page to the County it falls under. If you want to contribute, please check out the Volunteer FAQ Page.

 This county was named after William Barry, Postmaster General under President Andrew Jackson. The first settlers arrived in 1831 and settled on the banks of the Thornapple River. Hastings has sites of historical interest with the courthouse and the Queen Anne style residence of the Striker house.
