It's hard to say this was "discovered" since it seems to be sitting out in the open. It's more a case of people not knowing what they were looking at all this time.


Downriver War of 1812 trail gets its due

"Daniel Harrison spent a big part of summer 2009 in waders on the banks of a tributary to the Huron River in Brownstown Township, counting, measuring and pinpointing the location of 607 logs on a largely forgotten road that played a key role in the War of 1812.

Now the old road -- a military supply route hastily carved through fields, forest and swamps in Ohio and Michigan on the eve of the war and long since abandoned -- is receiving its historical due."
