Free Downloads Grand River Avenue (Images Of America)
Grand River Avenue, or Michigan US-16 as it was ultimately designated, is one of Michigan's true "Blue Highways"--an original two-lane, blacktop road still serving as a direct path through roadside America. Originally a Native American trail, this ancient path has been a westbound route from the Straits of Detroit to the eastern shores of Lake Michigan for more than 1,000 years. Over time, it has served as a footpath, horse trail, wagon rut, stagecoach route, plank road, and ultimately a two-lane highway that gave some of America's earliest motorists their first taste of long-distance automobile travel.

I am rather embarrassed that I never knew that Grand River Avenue, as hiway 16, crossed the entire width of my state. I have been on bits and pieces of it, sometimes apparently w/o even realizing it, but I never knew that it stretched all the way from Detroit to Grand Haven. I certainly do now. Fun book. Besides learning its total length I also learned about certain stops along the route that figure prominently in our state's history. Fun book. I like this series.
Interesting read of our mid Michigan area with wonderful nostalgic photos of places we've driven thru
