Often called the crowning jewel of Detroit’s riverfront, Belle Isle has a long and storied history, hosting world-class sporting events, musical performances, and family celebrations, while also bearing witness to massacre, riot, and military incursion. Join Brendan Roney, Manager of Digital Projects, as he explores the island’s layered past and the twists of fate that shaped its future, revealing how this beloved landscape might have become a very different place and how its enduring significance continues to reflect the forces that shaped Detroit itself.
