Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the history of Tashmoo Park, a once-thriving resort on Harsen's Island, which became a popular summer destination for Detroit residents from its opening in 1897 until its decline in 1951. Central to this experience was the grand excursion steamer Tashmoo, which provided scenic transportation to the park. Featuring picnic areas, a dance pavilion, and various recreational facilities, the park embodied leisure and community spirit. The narrative reflects on the nostalgia and cultural significance of this beloved destination, now a memory of a simpler era.
