Sponsored by The Friends of the LibraryE.K. Warren shaped Michiana history like few others, bringing prosperity, better roads and other civic improvements, strong religious convictions, and a philanthropic streak that still benefits us today (think Warren Dunes, Warren Woods and numerous summer camps and communities along the lakeshore). Nick Bogert of The Region of Three Oaks Museum has spent years collecting images and stories about Warren and his family. His presentation, first given to the Historical Society of Michigan last summer, tells a sweeping story of pioneer success; how a man of limited formal schooling built a fortune on discarded turkey feathers, amassing riches that made him one of the largest landholders in the country.
