Join us for an after-hours event, a historical true crime reading with Michael Delaware, featuring five selections from his book "Victorian Southwest Michigan True Crime." This collection brings together seventeen forgotten Victorian‑era crime stories from southwest Michigan, spanning 1837–1901 during Queen Victoria’s reign. The tales come from cities and towns like Battle Creek, Jackson, Dowagiac, Hastings, Eaton Rapids, Coldwater, Colon, Kalamazoo, and Marshall, blending murder, mystery, and rich social context with both sensational and lesser‑known cases. Enjoy wine pairings that complement the stories as they unfold, while nibbling on small bites.
