PALMER PARK, DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
Palmer Park, the City's second most popula
park, was donated to the City of Detroit in 1893
by Senator Thos. W. Palmer and Lizzie Merrill
Palmer, his wife. This comprised 140 acres and
was augmented in 1919 by an additional 147
acres, which the people voted for on
a bond
issue. A large portion of the park is undeveloped.
The park has a Log Cabin. which contains many
heirlooms of the old Palmer and Merrill families.
There is an old windmill placed there when the
Log Cabin was the residence of Senator Palmer
for the purpose of supplying water to the little
lakes and this gives a picturesque effect.
