Tuscola History Book
History of Tuscola
In 2007, the year of the Sesquicentennial Celebration of the City of Tuscola, a group of dedicated citizens undertook a project to produce a book of Tuscola history. The book was a highly sought-after, coffee table edition, selling out very soon after the delivery. Since it is no longer available in print, the pages are offered here.
As is the sentiment of many, and quoted in the Tuscola History Book:
Though my path may wander
Up and down
My heart will stay
In this old town
