Detroit Historical Museum Visit - In the Neighborhood: Everyday Life on Hastings Street
Sun, June 30 • 1pm
Come tour this (self-guided) display from the Jewish Historical Society. Lecture at 2:30pm by Julie Dilaura: Schlussel Bathhouse Archaeology. In 1907, Louis Schlussel opened a bathhouse at the corner of Alfred and St. Antoine Streets, featuring Detroit’s first documented mikveh (Jewish ritual bath). Come learn about the 2019 archaeological dig that recovered a fascinating and forgotten slice of history. Lunch at Café DIA at noon. For more info, or to RSVP, contact Anita Fishman.
