A shared love of history and people brings together three artists interpreting the cities, villages, hamlets, industrial sites and rural areas sharing the shoreline of the Detroit River and Lake Erie. The "Old Indian Trail" was traveled by native people, early settlers and armies; it was an important route to bring supplies to Fort Detroit.
The route traveled traverses areas reminiscent of the mid twentieth century and areas that appear untouched by the passage of time. Both the landscapes/cityscapes and the people have stories to tell. The three artists have chosen to be conduits for these stories.
The exhibit is a culmination of over two years of travel and research focused on an historic road and waterway.

In time this wilderness corridor gave rise to Jefferson/Biddle, Dixie and Interstate I-75.
