Welcome to the site dedicated to the discovery and sharing of Monroe Michigan Lost & Forgotten History.
Monroe County Michigan has a lot of Great History that is overshadowed by the connection with Custer and and War of 1812.
Each hold their own historical significance in Monroe but there is more history in Monroe County that deserves/should be researched and investigated.
When I find out about something and make the final findings, I will post it here.
I’m sure that every community has good and bad history and I’m the type that will not just show the good side. If I come across something that is bad, I will post it.
I have lived in Monroe nearly all of my life. I can’t say I lived here all my life but it has been close.
I’m now 47 years old and I never really had too much interest in history, let alone local history.
My excuse in school when doing poorly on a history test was, “I can’t help it. Everything happened before I was born.”
I don’t think that I need to go into details of the parent-teacher meetings but I’m getting away from the subject.
This all started in 2007 at the Monroe County Fair and since then, It has been a very interesting and fun experience.
I have investigated and found about a couple of Monroe’s Lost & Forgotten History which I have already posted on separate pages.
In addition, I will post of what I have discovered and some findings on the “Did ya Know?” page. I may post some observations of current known historical places that I kind of “Question” about what we’re told and what I happen to come across.
I am really interested in old photographs. For as far back in Monroe County as possible and into the 1970′s.
If you have a photo that you would like me to look at that has something in it that is no longer in Monroe or an earlier time, Please send it to jjmj63@gmail.com.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the site.
