Video: Message in a Bottle Found at Michigan Central Station
What a cool story this is! While renovating the Detroit Central Station, workers found some very old and interesting things…
The workers who are renovating the Central Station for Ford found a few things in the walls last month including a message in a bottle.
A Stroh’s bottle from 1913 was found in the wall near the main lobby of the station.
Lukas Nielsen was removing an unstable wall with Leo Kimble on May 4 when he saw the bottle and told crews to stop because he thought it may be important.
The piece of paper was removed, revealing a letter dated July 1913, about half a year before Michigan Central Station would open.
Dan Hogan and Geo Smith stuck this [illegible] of Chicago,” the note reads.
There were some other items found as well including a couple of pairs of shoes and some overalls. Here is the report
