Dear Friends and Supporters: This past year was a game changer for the Detroit Historical Society.

Year four of the Past>Forward Campaign brought us to 90 percent of our comprehensive campaign goal of raising $20.1 million — and this was the year when most of the major planned projects funded by the campaign became realities.

In September, we dedicated the new Legends Plaza outside the Woodward Avenue doors of the Detroit Historical Museum. This new outdoor attraction features two dozen hand and signature castings in cement from city luminaries from the worlds of sports, entertainment and media. We will continue to add legends to this attraction — which is already a 24-hour, seven-day a week favorite — every year.

In November, we celebrated the Grand Re-Opening of our flagship attraction, the Detroit Historical Museum, after a spectacular six-month, $12 million renovation. Our Grand Re-Opening Gala kicked off the festivities with great fanfare, generating significant media coverage and raising more than $300,000 toward our campaign goal. After some additional preview events, the Museum opened to the public on the day after Thanksgiving, remaining open for more than 55 straight hours and welcoming over 15,000 guests! The momentum generated by the renovations and our free admission policy continued throughout the next seven months, with over 100,000 visitors coming through the doors by the end of the year.

Next, we shifted our attention to our Belle Isle gem, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, which closed in December for a $2 million renovation and re-opened in mid-May with another very successful Gala and public re-opening. Like the Detroit Historical Museum, the response by our Dossin visitors has been very positive with guests of all ages finding the new and refreshed exhibits and the new hands-on interactive features, engaging and informative, resulting in a 25 percent increase in attendance over previous years.

As you will read in this report, the positive news over the past year transcends across all aspects of the Detroit Historical Society. Beyond our brand new attractions, we’ve made great strides in increasing the accessibility of our collections to the public and in improving and expanding the educational and community programming we offer.

Without you, none of this would have been possible. Thank you to everyone who contributed time, talent and resources to make this past year so transformative — especially our board of trustees, staff and volunteers, and to all of you who have supported our Past>Forward Campaign. Together, we have accomplished much and have helped ensure that the Society has a strong future ahead.

Sincerely,

Thomas C. Buhl Robert A. Bury President executive Director and CEO Detroit Historical Society detroit Historical Society 2 DetR iety oit HistoRicAl soc
