Michigan Hidden History

Coldwater Unfrozen: Horses, Cigars & Opera (Oh My!)


Listen Later

In this season finale of Michigan Hidden History, we plunge into Coldwater, Michigan’s surprisingly sizzling past. Learn how a Potawatomi paradise became a Union Army equestrian HQ (3,000 horses, anyone?), then morphed into a cigar-smoke capital turning out 13 million stogies a year. We’ll sneak into the historic Tibbits Opera House for a dose of Victorian high culture, then grab a fishing pole and explore 112 lakes that make Coldwater the angler’s dream. It’s a rollicking ride through cannons, railroads, electric lights—and a town that refuses to stay “cold.” Tune in for the frosty facts and the fiery fun!
