3 unusual facts about River Raisin National Battlefield Park


River Raisin National Battlefield Park

The first step toward promotion to the national level was the River Raisin National Battlefield Act (H.R. 401.IH), which was passed by the House of Representatives of the 111th Congress on January 9, 2009.

It is the sixth park in Michigan listed on the National Park Service, which includes Isle Royale National Park, Keweenaw National Historical Park, Father Marquette National Memorial, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

It was included in the bill largely thanks to the work of Michigan natives and United States senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow, as well as history enthusiast and iconic Congressman John Dingell.
