“The Entrepreneurs Who Made America” will be presented by Dr. Dale Moler, Assistant Professor of History at Northwood University.

“The Entrepreneurs Who Made America Great” will explore the late 1800s and early 1900s in the United States, a time when new technologies reshaped the landscape and lifeways of everyone. We will look at several examples of inventors who created and marketed their technologies to the masses during the period, a time known as the “Age of Invention.” More importantly, we will consider the historical context that fostered such dramatic innovation. An examination of the unique combination of people and environment that characterized the turn of the twentieth century gives us new appreciation for this transformative period as well as new perspective on our own innovative age.

The event begins at 6:00 p.m. in the Plaster Building in Room 120/121 on Northwood University’s campus.
