@_jacobmjones @modeld a great read!

[amy elliott bragg @thenighttrain]

@are__see it’s a special place for sure. say hi next time you stop by for a visit!

[amy elliott bragg @thenighttrain]

@are__see (Hulbert didn’t turn out to be buried at Elmwood but Francis McMath is!)

[amy elliott bragg @thenighttrain]

@are__see I was trying to find astronomers buried at Elmwood for a tour I wanted to do before the eclipse! Judge Hulbert was part of an early Detroit astronomical society in the 1890s. When I searched his name this place came up on Google Maps!

[amy elliott bragg @thenighttrain]

@are__see Just good luck that I found MHAS and learned they were working on this nomination. They have collected and created a lot of historical material about the place; UM has a lot of MHO material as well. but it’s still a race against time for sure. Glad you liked the story!

Came out of retirement to bring you a story I love about a semi-secret 1930s astronomical observatory in the woods in Oakland County 🔭

New project drop! 🚨

Delighted to work w/local history maven @thenighttrain on this package about a hidden landmark rusting in the woods near Great Lakes Crossing

An entertaining tale reaching back to the 1920s, brought to life with amazing drone shots from @DavidGuralnick —>
