Hello! Stanley Morton recommends you join us for the first of our Tuesday Talks on May 10th at 7 PM. Chuck Jager, local historian, teacher, author, and Morton House Museum board member will present 'From Plymouth Rock to Benton Harbor: The Morton's in American History. He will share both entertaining and tragic stories of the Morton family and its role in the original Pilgrim settlement, Paul Revere's ride, the Revolutionary War, the westward movement, the California gold rush, the Spanish-American War, and more.
Eleazer Morton was the first European settler of Benton Harbor. His son Henry was one of the founders of the city, and grandson Stanley (pictured above) ran the famed Graham and Morton Steamship Company. Eleazer and Henry built the current Morton House in 1849.
Refreshments will be served. Doors open at 6:45 PM with the talk starting at 7 PM. The cost is $5 per person. The Morton House Museum is located at 501 Territorial Road, Benton Harbor.
