[History Hounds] A Park and a Steamer: The Tale of Tashmoo with Art Woodford, Author

Tashmoo Park, located 20 miles north of Detroit on Harsen's Island, opened in 1897. For nearly 50 years, the park was Detroit's most popular park destination, and a visit was incomplete without an excursion aboard the grand steamer Tashmoo.
