2 A Guide to Monroe County, MI | 2011

Monroe County has been dubbed the “Gateway to Michigan”

because of its strategic location along the state’s southernmost boundary, but it’s a signifi cant crossroads, too.

It’s where the meandering currents of the River Raisin bisect the county and blend with the blue-green waves of Lake Erie. Its largely rural landscape is dotted by growing towns and expanding suburbs that support business and industry. It is where deep historical roots provide context for modern-day progress, and where residents cherish small-town charm that’s within an easy drive to big-city amenities in Detroit and Toledo.

It’s a place where work meets play like almost nowhere else in Michigan. The county has more golf courses per capita than any other county. Sprawling Sterling State Park, with its mile-long Lake Erie beach, draws tourists from near and far. It has marinas and

harbors and fi shing spots that make it a mecca for boaters and anglers. It has dozens of campgrounds, charter-fi shing boats, hunting grounds and natural areas. Annual events such as the Monroe County Fair and River Raisin Jazz Festival draw thousands to the area.

In short, it’s a place that tourists wish they could call home and a place that locals are proud to call home.

It’s had that appeal for a long, long time.

In fact, fi rst visits to the area by missionaries date to the early 1600s. The fi rst settler, Francois Navarre, established his home in 1780. Because of the number of French settlers, the community became known as French Town before being named after President James Monroe in 1817.

The City of Monroe is rising to playing a more prominent role on the nation’s historical stage. Long noted as the boyhood home of Gen. George Armstrong Custer with a prominent statue in his

memory, the town now is becoming known as the location of the River Raisin National Battlefi eld Park, the nation’s newest national park.

Still in the developmental stages, the park commemorates the pivotal Battle of the River Raisin and Massacre of the War of 1812, where British troops and their American Indian allies clashed with American militia in January, 1813.

It was a British victory, but the subsequent massacre of American wounded and prisoners by Indians galvanized Americans and made “Remember the Raisin!” a rallying cry for other battles in the war.

It’s part of a rich blend of history, cultural, recreational and educational amenities that give Monroe County an unparalleled quality of life.

The Battle of the River Raisin during the War of 1812 was the

largest battle ever fought on Michigan soil and resulted in the largest number of deaths of any single-day battle during that war.

The next day, it was followed by an act of terrorism, frontier-style, that added grave insult to

serious injury. It was the massacre by British-allied American Indians of the American wounded and survivors of the battle. The atrocity gave rise to “Remember the Raisin!,” a battle cry that inspired other American troops in War of 1812 battles against the British for control of the Old Northwest.

Then, remarkably, it was all but forgotten.

It shouldn’t be anymore.

The clash between the British and American forces on Jan. 22, 1813, and massacre the next day now is memorialized by the River Raisin National Battlefi eld Park, the nation’s newest national park, formed on ground reclaimed from an old industrial site where paper mills once hummed.

After years of community efforts characterized by an unparalleled display of local teamwork, the National Park Service on Oct. 22, 2010, designated the old site the nation’s 393rd national park, accepting donation of the site lands from the City of Monroe, its port commission, Monroe County and the Monroe County Historical Society.

Once a contaminated, abandoned industrial site, the land at N. Dixie Hwy. and E. Elm Ave. has been cleared and reclaimed and, starting this year, the battlefi eld will be developed further and maintained by the federal government, which already is mapping plans for enhancement of the site.

Scott Bentley, the new National Park Service superintendent at the battlefi eld, said the battle and slaughter at the site is noteworthy in history.

About 2,260 combat-related deaths occurred during the War of 1812. About 15 percent of those occurred at the River Raisin battle and massacre.

“It was the largest battle every fought on Michigan soil and was the largest

number of fatalities of any single-day battle in

the War of 1812,” he said. “The grounds of the River Raisin battlefi eld are truly sacred grounds. I hope as you visit the River Raisin National Battlefi eld Park, you’ll think about the great sacrifi ce that occurred on the grounds you are walking.”

Although the county historical commission has developed and operated a visitor center, at 1403 E. Elm Ave., on part of what was the original battlefi eld, the park service is planning to expand the site, add interpretive displays and otherwise enhance it.

The visitor center, open on a seasonal basis, long has been a stop for history buffs and school groups, who are entranced by the story of the battle, relics, dioramas and other interpretive materials. Under National Park Service ownership, it is to begin having regular hours year-round beginning this summer.

“Tremendous things have been done to this point, but much remains to fully achieve the persona of a national park,” he explained.

He’s been in the process of hiring initial staff as work continues to develop the park.

U.S. Rep. John D. Dingell, D-Dearborn, sponsored legislation that put the battlefi eld under the purview of the National Park Service, and suggests it will have valuable economic spinoffs for the area.

Monroe is home to one of America’s newest national parks

Hillsdale native heads battlefi eld national park

Scott Bentley, fi rst superintendent of the new River Raisin National Battlefi eld Park, has a broad background with the National Park Service.

Originally from Hillsdale, Mr. Bentley joined NPS in 1991 as a ranger at Yellowstone National Park.

“It was a childhood dream, growing up, to be a ranger out in the mountains,” he recalls.

After his Yellowstone assignment, he served as a ranger at San Antonio Missions NHP, as a supervisory park ranger at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and as the chief of operations for the opening of Oklahoma City National Memorial before becoming a superintendent. In Oklahoma City, Mr. Bentley was instrumental in implementing startup operations for the memorial.

Before serving as superintendent at San Antonio Missions NHP, he was the superintendent of George Washington Carver park and then at Assateague Island.

He also served on a detail in Washington, D.C., as a special assistant to the director responsible for the kick-off of the NPS centennial.

Mr. Bentley has received numerous achievement awards and recognitions, such as a national accessibility award, federal employee of the year award and the national Andrew Clark Hecht Memorial Public Safety Achievement Award.

Mr. Bentley graduated from Lake Superior State University, Sault Ste. Marie, with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. He and his wife, Maryne, whom he met at Yellowstone, have two children, Joshua, 19, and Andrew, 14.

“The creation of the River Raisin National Battlefi eld Park could not come at a better time for the embattled hard working people of Michigan,” he said. “Signifi cant economic and cultural value is added to a historic landmark when it is managed within the National Park System, and this impact is expected to intensify during the upcoming Bicentennial of the War of 1812.”

One estimate is that the park might draw more than 40,000 visitors annually, spur visitor spending of nearly $4.5 million a year and create as many as 110 full-time and part-time jobs.

Mr. Bentley said the initial tasks ahead include acquiring critical battlefi eld and associated lands, restoring the cultural landscape, enhancing the approaches to the battlefi eld, obtaining more relics or

period objects, constructing or developing a new visitor education center, creating new educational materials and products, developing interactive exhibits and connecting the battlefi eld to the area’s other historical resources.

The park service also is developing a long-term management plan to guide the operation of the park years into the future.

He said part of the task ahead is to link the park with other local historical assets, such as the Navarre-Anderson trading post complex and historical sites elsewhere around the county.

That goal was given a big boost with the completion and dedication last year of the River Raisin Heritage Trail, a bicycle/pedestrian pathway linking the battlefi eld visitor center with nearby Sterling State Park.

The trail created what is believed to be the nation’s only pedestrian trail linkage between a national park and a state park. Work is continuing to better tie the trail into the city’s existing system of pathways and sidewalks, creating a walkable, bikeable route that could extend as far west as Monroe County Community College.

The trail was created through the cooperation of the City of Monroe, the State of Michigan, the Monroe County Historical Society, the Community Foundation of Monroe County, the Kellogg Foundation and other groups.

It cuts through natural areas and marshes, providing a free pedestrian entryway on the state park’s southwest corner and links with existing nature paths at the state park, eventually tying into the park’s mile-long Lake Erie beach.


It’s diffi cult to travel most places in Monroe County without discovering

threads of the rich historical fabric of the region.

The area’s Lake Erie shoreline and its River Raisin banks are among the reasons the county has a heritage that dates to pre-Colonial times.

Early American Indian tribes settled in the area because of the River Raisin, which they called the “Nummasepee,” or “River of Sturgeon.”

Indeed, the fi rst white settler, Francois Navarre, received from local tribes the deed for his 500-acre farm on the river’s south bank on June 3, 1785.

Soon, the area became known as French Town

because of the large number of French settlers who came to the area to trap, hunt, farm and trade with the Indians.

The French renamed the Nummasepee the Riviere aux Raisins because of the grapevines that girdled its banks.

In 1788, French settlers built their fi rst church off what is now N. Custer Rd. The second oldest church in Michigan, it was called St. Antoine Riviere aux Raisins. It would be the fi rst of many churches in the community, many of which still stand today.

Besides the historic churches and vintage architecture, Monroe County has preserved well other vestiges of its past.

The Navarre-Anderson Trading Post and Martha Barker County Store at N. Custer and Raisinville Rds. are prime examples.

The trading post was started in 1789 by Heutrau Navarre, one of the fi rst white settlers to move to the area, and sold to John Anderson in 1802.

Today, the building is said to be the oldest surviving wooden structure in Michigan and it is maintained as a working exhibit by the Monroe County Historical Museum.

Although the thread of history weaves throughout the county, the area’s

largest claims to historical fame may be its tie to the War of 1812 and the life of Gen. George Armstrong Custer.

The settlement of French Town was the scene of the Battle of the River Raisin on Jan. 22, 1813, when American and British troops clashed along the banks of the frozen river.

A subsequent massacre of remaining wounded soldiers and settler families on Jan. 23 became a rallying cry for the rest of the war. The battle and massacre was one of the bloodiest episodes on American soil in military history. The River Raisin Battlefi eld Visitor Center at 1403 E. Elm Ave. provides background and interpretive exhibits about the area’s role in the War of 1812. Today, it is the River Raisin National Battlefi eld Park and will be fully developed by the National Park Service into an interpretive park in the years ahead.

A review of Monroe County history can’t be done without mentioning Gen. Custer, a Civil War hero who met his demise at the Battle of Little Big Horn.

Gen. Custer’s boyhood home was Monroe and he met and wed his wife, Elizabeth (Libbie), here.

The Monroe County Historical Museum, 126 S. Monroe St., has a premier exhibit of Custer memorabilia and a statue of Custer on his horse sits aside W. Elm Ave. and N. Monroe St., a main intersection in town.

Other key historical sites around the county include:

■ Loranger Square and the 1871-vintage county courthouse.

■ Woodland Cemetery – Off Jerome St. in the City of Monroe, it is the fi nal resting place

of many of the region’s most prominent citizens and soldiers, including some veterans of the Revolutionary War and War of 1812.

■ Bridge School in Raisinville Township — now used as the Raisinville Township Hall at 96 Ida-Maybee Rd. — the site of the fi rst public school in Michigan, a log cabin built in 1828.

■ The Old Mill on M-50 at the River Raisin in Dundee, a water gristmill built in 1865 on the National Register of Historic Places that houses a historical museum.

■ Banner Oak School in Bedford Township — Operated by the Historical Society of Bedford, the brick schoolhouse at Sterns and Crabb Rds. dates to 1871 and serves as a living history museum, demonstrating to schoolchildren of today what the learning environment was like in days gone by.

■ The Lost Peninsula near the Michigan-Ohio line, a monument to “The Toledo War,” a border dispute that ended when Toledo became part of Ohio and Michigan was given the Upper Peninsula.

■ The Milan Industry and Milan Old Grist Mill on the Saline River in Milan. It was purchased in 1935. A new mill was built and the old gristmill was restored. The old mill was used for processing soybeans and the new mill produced ignition coils from 1939 to 1948. The new mill is now used as the Milan City Hall at Wabash St. and Neckel Ct.

Monroe’s Great Lake

Monroe County is the only Michigan county with a long Lake Erie

shoreline and Monroe is the only Michigan port on Lake Erie.

But public access to the lakeshore isn’t as plentiful as one might suspect.

Homes, cottages and private marinas dot the lakeshore, limiting public access, but scattered spots exist up and down the lakeshore to enjoy the Great Lake.

Here are some popular points of entry.

Woodtick PeninsulaErie. Owned by the State of Michigan, this windswept, wave-washed strip of land has eroded slowly over the years. It’s still a place to walk along a beach and observe various species of birds,

though. It’s a state-certifi ed bird sanctuary. Take Exit 5 off I-75 and follow Erie Rd. to its easternmost end near Consumers Energy’s J.R. Whiting Power Plant. Visitors are asked to steer clear of fenced areas and heed all warning signs.

Clyde R. Evans PierLuna Pier. One of the best places to get up close and personal with Lake Erie. The reinforced concrete pier curves outward from the lakeshore and has benches, but it can get wet on windy days. Parking is nearby as well as a public beach. Take Exit 6 off I-75 and head east toward the lake.

Hoffman Memorial Access SiteBolles Harbor, Monroe. A breakwater pier defi ning the harbor entry is favored for shore fi shing. Across the waterway is a major boat launching facility. Take Exit 11 off I-75. The entry to the DNR boat launch is directly across the northbound off ramp. The Hoffman access site is at the end of Lake St.

Lotus bedsMonroe. The endangered American lotus is a Lake Erie symbol. The fl ower usually blooms in late July or early to mid-August. It’s an endangered species, so do not pick. Also do not travel through fl owers. Some places to see them: LaPlaisance Rd. to E. Dunbar Rd., turn east; clear viewing just over I-75; along the north side of Allen Cove Rd. just east of I-75 at Luna Pier; Lake Erie Metropark in Rockwood.

Sterling State Park Monroe. Located on Lake Erie’s shoreline, the park offers camping, swimming, boating, hiking, biking and picnicking.

Pointe MouilleeRockwood. This state game area is home to various species of fl ora and fauna. Take Exit 29 from I-75 and head east. Access is off Campau Rd. near W. Jefferson Ave.

Open 7 Days


Imagine a place where

long-legged herons glide in

for a landing an arm’s length

away, where turtles bask in

the sun’s rays, where deer

forage for tender morsels

and where eagles soar above

the treetops.

Now imagine you’re just a

stone’s throw from the busy

highways of civilization – but

the sounds of people and

industry seem so distant.

You’re at one of Monroe’s newest quiet places – the River Raisin Heritage Trail, a winding, paved ribbon that takes you from a neighborhood near the 1812 River Raisin battlefi eld into Sterling State Park on the shores of Lake Erie.

The trail crosses an old rail spur that was a lifeline for Ford Motor Co.’s old Monroe plant; ducks under I-75, a river of modern commerce, and skirts marshlands that once were private hunting grounds for members of the Ford family. It might one day end up crossing a canal to link the park with lakefront marshland east of the old Ford plant that now is part of the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge. It also might be the fi rst trail in the nation linking a state park with a national park — the new River Raisin Battlefi eld National Park.

An ornate diorama-like metal sculpture greets visitors at E. Elm Ave. east of I-75 as the trail winds into the marshland. It was created by a cadre of local men and includes images of an eagle, loons, egrets, American lotus plants

and other fl ora and fauna. A small mitten pattern symbolizes the State of Michigan.

Beyond that, benches intermittently fl ank the trail for walkers, bikers and joggers to rest and absorb the sights and sounds of the nature surrounding them.

Wildlife abounds along the trail. The marshes, still occasionally used for hunting, are habitat for bald eagles and a stopping point for thousands of migrating birds. A range of mammals, including deer, muskrat, chipmunks and fox, also roams the area.

Fat dragonfl ies, yellow fi nches, robins and, recently, welcoming parties of mayfl ies fl it along the trail, mingling with hikers, bikers, anglers and joggers.

Walkers also will fi nd interpretive markers and an exquisite fi shing pier before ending at a fork linking it to the existing state park trails. Bearing right will take the user on a path that ends up near the park campground. Bearing left, the route follows the park’s westernmost trail, which can cut across the interior lagoons west of the beach or end in a parking lot just off the causeway at State Park Rd.

Many spots have water on both sides, providing a home to the spatterdock, pickerelweed, and beds of the threatened American lotus. Unfortunately, some of the marsh areas are overrun with shaggy phragmites and purple loosestrife, two invasive plant species.

The path was built with a combination of city, state and private funds and

was dedicated last June during daylong ceremonies that included visits by local, state and national dignitaries and naturalist Jeff Corwin, who said, “To walk and ride this trail ... this marvelous jewel of nature was a true respite for me.”

“This trail connects a unique collection of sites from a key battlefi eld in our nation’s second war for independence to the shore of a Great Lake. It links Michigan’s history to its natural beauty and highlights how the intersection of land and water has shaped our state,” noted U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich.

The trail’s developers have a vision of someday linking the trail to Monroe County Community College via the City of Monroe’s path along the River Raisin and a hoped-for trail beyond that.
