Lansing 150

 

 Welcome to Lansing, Michigan’s official Sesquicentennial website.   In 2009, our community will celebrate its 150th birthday.  We’re  planning a year-long birthday party!

CapitalThis site is designed to be the center of information updates and resources as plans unfold.  You can expect frequent revisions, additions and updates.

At the request of Mayor Virg Bernero and City Council, the Lansing Rotary Club has committed to be the lead organization in the planning and coordination of Lansing’s upcoming Sesquicentennial Celebration.   

To that end, a non-profit Lansing Sesquicentennial Corporation has been established and an impressive number of citizens have come together to begin the planning process.

The Mayor's Welcome

Virg Bernero - Mayor of LansingDear Friend,

As Mayor of Lansing, I am thrilled to be a part of celebrating Lansing’s upcoming 150th birthday in 2009!  From the densely forested wilderness faced by our early settlers, to a thriving automotive powerhouse, to today’s emerging urban capital city, now is a promising era for Lansing.

Over the past 150 years, our City has grown steadily into one of Michigan’s most exciting regions. We are proud of our educational institutions, our diverse population, our revolutionary environmental programs and our outstanding and active citizens.  

Our potential for growth, robust change and innovation is limited only by the brilliant imaginations of our City’s myriad urban planners, architects, artists, business leaders and citizens who have been working to take Lansing from Good to Great.

I encourage you to explore this comprehensive website and help Lansing celebrate 150 years of history.  There will be dozens of exciting events for you and your family to enjoy throughout the entire year.   Check back regularly to see what has been added.  Thanks so much to the Lansing Rotary members and all the community volunteers for their passion and diligence in making this year-long celebration possible!  

Sincerely,
Mayor Virg
Virg Bernero
Mayor of Lansing
