This land donated to the city by ex-Senator Thomas W. Palmer in 1893, and situated north of the city and at the extreme terminal of the Woodward Avenue car line, is one of the city's favorite breathing spots. Its centerpiece is a log cabin which is an exact reproduction of the home in which Senator Palmer resided when Detroit was a little more than a trading post."
