- **Event Name**: Unearthing Highway 41: An American Journey
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: We’re excited to welcome author Christopher Clott for a presentation on the fascinating history of Highway 41!

Mr. Clott’s new book takes you on a 2000-mile journey from Highway 41’s start at the top of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to its endpoint in Miami, Florida. Along the way, we traverse major cities, small towns, farmland, swamps and forests. We meet scoundrels, saints, and ordinary folks whose lives paint the picture of America past and present. We explore profound ways the American experience has been influenced by roads and automobiles, causing revolutionary shifts in population and ways of life. Using art, photos, maps, suggested music playlists, vignettes of notable people, places and events encountered along the road, author Christopher Clott recounts the vivid, sometimes tragic, poignant tales one can only learn on a north-south journey through the US.

Christopher Clott is a former professor of international business and maritime logistics with a keen interest in how people live and work. After a long career in business and academia, this is his first book. When he is not on the road in search of fascinating places to see, he lives with his wife in the Chicago suburb of Western Springs.
