Seasons of Southwest Michigan October 17, 2009

The place in which you live is shaped by natural forces that meet here in a unique combination of power, beauty and bounty. The wind can change the landscape in an instant with a tornado, or take years to move a sand dune on the Great Lakes shore. Michigan residents often say: "Just wait five minutes and the weather will change." Here we experience lots of different weather, and some of these phenomena are demonstrated in the interactive exhibits in Seasons of Southwest Michigan. Take a closer look at some of these forces that shape your land and your lives.
