Larry B. Massie

For more than two decades Larry B. Massie has shared a passion for his beloved state’s heritage. He has authored 20 best-selling Michigan history books and lectures to audiences at schools, libraries, universities, and festivals across both peninsulas. His acclaimed storytelling about strange but true episodes conveys listeners on a fun-filled, magic carpet ride into Michigan’s past. He brings to life steel-sinewed voyageurs, rough-hewn lumberjacks, salty Great Lakes ships captains, and others who helped make Michigan a great state. He adapts his fast-paced, 45 minutes to one-hour performances to all age groups and types of audiences.
