Artifact Overview
The Michigan Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument stands in front of the first Detroit Opera House at Campus Martius--a former military training ground that became the "point of origin" of the city's coordinate street system. Fundraising for the commemorative civic sculpture began after the end of the Civil War in 1865, and the completed monument was unveiled in 1872.
