If Detroit was once called “The Arsenal of Democracy,” Downriver definitely gave its share toward making that arsenal possible.

The challenge factor in creating a central site is definitely there. Memories do blur, times & locations may shift, but we found our contributors’ enthusiasm unmistakable and their resolve unshakable. We believe our mission statement sums it up nicely.

We hope your stay is an enjoyable one!

YOURS SINCERELY,

Kevin Harrison, Webmaster

Mission:

To foster appreciation of all forgotten Downriver chapters through modern electronic means; to provide a venue of research unequaled and unshown on cyberspace in our personally unique area of the world and state, which has reinvented itself with the pride and conviction we choose to pay forward.

Vision:

To ensure both the casual and inquisitive mind a complete, accurate and unbiased history of Downriver, utilizing photographic means, news clippings, and testimonials from all avenues. To develop working relationships with individual organizations – business, historical and municipal – to tell our story, while at the same time telling theirs in a cooperative venture. To provide support and ongoing encouragement for growing businesses that will tell the next chapter of our story.
