Highlights Along The Route

POI Photo 1: Redford Twp Historical Commission

Point of Interest

The township purchased the vacant 1/4 acre of property in 1966, originally intending it as a possible site for a new courthouse. In 1967, the Redford Community War Memorial Association proposed a memorial building on the site to commemorate the heroes of WWI and WWII. By 1973, plans were underway to develop the land into a park for the community. Also known as Monument Park or Civic Memorial Park. Veterans Memorial Park was upgraded in 2011 to include a granite memorial bench and marker for MIAs and POWs.
