Flat LaKeisha visits the best place on Michigan State University's campus...

Lansing is right next to East Lansing, home of Michigan State University

Michigan State University was the first land grant university in the country. You can see a copy of the historic Morrill Act signed by president Abraham Lincoln from our country's archives.  Can you find Abraham Lincoln's signature on that document??

It was the beginning of our country providing federal aid to help all citizens receive higher education, not just a select few individuals who could afford the expensive education on the east coast.  Every state has one public university like that. The land grant college for Arkansas is the University of Arkansas.

And one of the best places to visit on the campus of Michigan State University is the dairy store where they make their own cheese and ice cream!

Here we are at the dairy store!  Kendrick and Rosalie are way ahead of me.  I better catch up!

There are so many flavors to choose from!  I don't know what to pick.

The lemon custard ice cream is delightful.
The lemon custard spritzer is delicious.
Everything is very "Spartan" around here.

Here is some of the antique equipment they used to use here in making the ice cream.

It must have been a lot of work to make ice cream.


See the statue in the background?  That is "Sparty," the official mascot of Michigan State University.
