What to Expect
- 1.Arrive early to grab a seat in the small community room at the Northville Township Administration Office and you might have to check in at the front desk.
- 2.The talk is a straightforward history lecture with slides about Michigan's worst train wreck, so expect a clear narrative and some archival photos.
- 3.Q and A is usually brief after the talk, so keep your questions tight and on topic if you want to speak up.
- 4.Because this is a government building, parking can be around the lot or on street, plan 10 extra minutes for finding the room.
- 5.Bring a notebook or notes app if you want to jot down dates, sources, or names to look up later.
