MSU Historic Walking Tour

Join the MSU Archives on a historical walking tour of campus and learn about M.A.C. / MSC between 1900 and 1929. Highlights of the tour will include College Hall/Beaumont Tower, the 1900 Class Fountain, the Union, the Deer Park, the WWI Memorial Grove, the Roosevelt Elm, and the Cowles House tree. Learn how the 1900 Class Fountain was actually the second gift from the Class of 1900, how the deer angered Professor Beal, and the elm tree that U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt planted in 1907. The tour begins at Beaumont Tower and ends at Cowles House and it is approximately two hours long. This is a moderate walking activity. The expanse of the walk includes the grounds surrounding Beaumont Tower, the Union, North Neighborhood dormitories (Campbell, Williams, Landon, Yakeley, Gilchrist, Mayo), and Cowles House.

There is space for 25 participants.
