About this Event
The Romantic Life at U of M Walking Tour takes you through some of the beautiful and notable portions of the Nichols Arboretum starting at the Peony Garden, as well as a few of the dorms surrounding the Detroit Observatory, where the tour ends. While you learn about the history surrounding these spots, you will also get to hear some stories of the romantic lives of some of our faculty, students, and alumni, as well as some other historical facts about events and lives here at the University of Michigan campus, with an accompanying slideshow filled with photos, scrapbook pages, and letters found here: https://myumi.ch/XnZrd
