Northville History Trail Committee -
The American Lung Association of Michigan has joined with Friends of Maybury and the Michigan DNR to develop a self-guided history tour to commemorate Maybury Sanatorium. Thanks to the ALAM for this wonderful opportunity to celebrate the people who lived and worked at Maybury Sanatorium, and the work they did there to fight tuberculosis.
The trail was dedicated on September 30th 2006, visit the trail head kiosk marked 'M' on the map below.
