Campus Martius, Detroit, Michigan
01
Artifact Overview
Campus Martius in Detroit, Michigan, was a former military training ground that became the "point of origin" of the city's coordinate street system and the site of the Michigan Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument (seen on the left). This postcard shows the many ways people moved around Detroit in the early 1910s: by walking, streetcars, horse-drawn wagons, and automobiles.
