The Poorhouses and Poor Farms of Michigan

By Alan Naldrett

Poorhouses and Poor Farms in Michigan followed the example of earlier states to provide a safety net for the indigents of the 18th through the 21st centuries. The stories and information about the poor habitats run from glowing references to disturbing realities of being poor. In this account, each county of Michigan's poorhouses are chronicled. The sociological aspects of this treatment of the poor is examined and provide for a very interesting and informative account
