Nixon Visits the Thumb

On April 10, 1974, President Nixon campaigned his way across the Thumb, visiting Saginaw, Bad Axe, Cass City, and Sandusky. Despite being in the midst of the Watergate scandal, hundreds were drawn in by his presence alone. Some were hoping to see him in person, while others were eager to protest his visit altogether. We’ve combed through the archives and are going to be jumping right into the pages of history by listening to a commemorative album from the event.
