Michigan Bans Hitchhiking on Freeways | August 28
from Michigan Minute
Michigan passed a law banning hitchhiking and bicycles on the Interstate Highway System, nearly a decade after the system's enactment. Also, on this day in 1835, President Andrew Jackson removed 19-year-old Stevens T. Mason from his role as acting governor of Michigan Territory, replacing him with John Horner. Despite this, Michiganders elected Mason as the first governor of the new state of Michigan just two months later.
