Author Helen Grainger's personal special bound copy of her 1976 publication "Pictorial Lansing Great City on the Grand."
Helen E. Grainger (1927-2007) was a Lansing school bus driver for 17 years, 1965-1982, and gave historical bus tours and field trips for a decade of that time, 1972-1982. Grainger was president of the Historical Society of Greater Lansing in 1977-1978. She was the founding president of the Mason Area Historical Society in 1976, and served in that capacity for many years. Grainger turned her historical bus tour into a book in 1976 with "Pictorial Lansing: Great City on the Grand." She brought Lansing history to a generation of Lansing children and we are indebted to her work.
