The River Raisin National Battlefield Park’s own staff member, Shawna Lynn Mazur, will be doing a presentation on her newly released book “LOST Towns of Monroe County, Michigan.”
Published by Arcadia’s The History Press, the book reveals many fascinating aspects of the development of over a hundred small to large communities scattered across Monroe County’s fifteen townships.
Discover why the towns were located where they were, how they developed and why some disappeared without a trace? Each town has surprises to reveal about what life was like in the way of farming, homemaking, schooling, businesses, industry, crime, Prohibition, tragedies, epidemics, and more. Learn about the town that became known as the paper city, wildcat banks, bank robberies, crimes, fires, and more.
