01
Artifact Overview
As cities and towns tried to encourage tourism, formal associations were created to promote and market them. Tourism bureaus and tourist information centers offered maps, brochures, guidebooks, and experts who could provide insight on local area attractions. This sign, which would have been posted at one of these places, promised advice and materials on tourist attractions in southeastern Michigan.
