A Downtown Historical Marker
Scavenger Hunt

Directions:  This is the field trip assignment and it is due the last day of class.  In teams of one or more, with a map or a good knowledge of Downtown Detroit, you are to find the following places and record the site name and the historical significance.  All are Michigan Historical Markers except where noted.   Even though you may work in a team, you need to turn your own, individual results.

In order to save you writing all the historical significance, you may take a (digital) photo of the marker(s), however, you must be in at least half of the photos.

    All sites can be found on foot from a central place downtown, south of the Fisher Freeway (I-75) east of the Lodge Freeway (M-10) & west of I-375.  More details in class.
