Exploring Detroit's Sculptures and Monuments - Hart Plaza to Campus Martius

Welcome to Exploring Detroit’s Sculptures and Monuments - Hart Plaza to Campus Martius. I’m Dick Shafran and I’ll be your guide as we visit 23 important sculptures and monuments within walking distance of the city’s two most popular public gathering places. In this two-hour walking tour, you’ll learn about artifacts from as early as 1870 to some as recent as 2018. Our walk will shed a little light on Detroit and regional history and introduce you to masterworks of some of the most renowned artists in the world.  This tour app uses your location to play commentary automatically as you reach specific locations. Our suggested path is a complete loop so take a look at our map and get yourself to any convenient numbered point to start. I’ll tell you all about the artifact you’re near and then let you know where to go next. And, if you see something interesting that isn’t on the tour, feel free to wander over and investigate. I’ll be waiting for you right where we left off.As you walk, please remain aware of traffic. You’ll be crossing busy streets and we want you to finish the whole tour in one piece! See you at your first stop!
