Have you ever driven through the Grosse Pointes and wondered about the origins of a beautiful old mansion or how a certain street got its name? Now the answers to those questions are at your fingertips with the new Lakeshore Map: A Tour of Grosse Pointe from Windmill Pointe to Gaulker Pointe, just published by the Grosse Pointe Historical Society. The map illustrates 50 places of interest in the Pointes and includes historical information about the community and beautiful, historic photos.

"We are so excited about this latest guide to Grosse Pointe history. It's a great way learn about the old mansions that still remain," said GPHS Board member, Suzy Berschback. “Spread the map out at home to get a great picture of the historic places in Grosse Pointe. Or take it along on your bike or in the car and do your own tour."

Maps are available at the Provencal-Weir House tours and Second Saturday events, at the Alfred B. and Ruth S. Moran Resource Center, and to members.

The map was made possible by proceeds from the Grosse Pointe Historical Society's summer parties and generous map sponsors the DAR Louisa St. Clair Chapter and real estate brokers Carolyn Candler and Donna Stoner. The Society is grateful to the Grosse Pointe Chapter #147 of the Questers for their original research on this material.
