Our Island Jewel: Detroit’s Belle Isle Park

Often called the crowning jewel of Detroit’s riverfront, Belle Isle has a long and storied history. The park has hosted world class sporting events, musical performances and family parties. It has also witnessed massacre, riot and military incursion. But for a few twists of fate, this beloved island might have been a much different place.

Joel Stone, the Society's Senior Curator, will discuss the history of Belle Isle at the Dexter District Library (3255 Alpine St, Dexter, MI) at 7 p.m.
