St. Joseph and Benton Harbor

St. Joseph and Benton Harbor portrays twin cities with very different personalities weathering a time of great change. Long established as thriving centers of manufacturing, fruit farming, shipping, and tourism, both towns faced the enormous economic and cultural transformations of post-World War II America: rapid demographic shifts, urban renewal, social unrest, and the collapse of industrial manufacturing. Through hard work, creative effort, and above all community cooperation, each southwest Michigan town reinvented itself, emerging into the 21st century revitalized and transformed.
