UNION CITY, MI (WTVB) – The Union City Society for Historic Preservation will introduce the “Union City Cornerstones Historic Walking Tour” on June 13th, from 2–4 PM at Union City Middle School.
Developed with local and state partners, the project connects the community through public art, murals, and historical sites, highlighting the Underground Railroad, the St. Joseph River, and a memorial for the March 6th tornado.
Special guest speaker and author Robin Foster, a descendant of Freedom Seekers, will join the presentation.
