Join author Mike Fores for an entertaining and informative presentation about Michigan's iconic five-mile span, the Mackinac Bridge. Since opening in 1957, it has been struck by lightning and hit by an airplane and a ship--yet still stands as perhaps the safest five miles of I-75. Hear the stories, see the photos and meet the people who have made this engineering wonder a symbol of the state of Michigan.
