Sunday, 13 July, 2025

In this star-spangled stop on Michigan Hidden History: Road Trip Edition, we dive into the life and legacy of William McKinley—the Civil War vet turned tariff-loving president—who made history as the first U.S. president to visit South Dakota. From economic policy and war with Spain to a full-on parade in Sioux Falls, this episode covers McKinley’s rise, his visit, and why the town practically exploded with patriotic bunting when his train rolled in.
