U.S. Route 27 in Michigan - History

History

Since 2002, US 27 no longer exists in Michigan. To eliminate the concurrency with I-69, US 27 was truncated at Fort Wayne, Indiana. From Lansing north, US 127 was extended northward over the US 27 freeway, and on divided highways to Grayling.

On August 19, 2010, the Michigan House of Representatives passed a resolution recognizing "Old US 27" as a historic road in the state.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.
    Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
