100 Year Old Message in a Bottle Found At Detroit Train Station
Crews renovating Detroit s Michigan Central Station made an incredible discovery last week when they unearthed a 100 year old message in a bottle.
Last year, Ford Motor Company made the announcement that they were planning and renovating the old Michigan Central Station and turning it into a walkable 30-acre campus. The station, which opened in 1913, has been shuttered since 1988.
I can only imagine the history that building holds. However, as reported by Fox 2 Detroit, crews were in the process of removing an unstable wall when one worker suddenly called for them to stop. Inside the plaster was this bottle complete with a note inside:

Back in 2018, American carmaker Ford bought the Michigan Central Station intending to turn it into
“a vibrant new campus that will serve as an innovation hub for Ford’s vision for the future of transportation.”
The massive building has been around since 1913, acting as the main intercity passenger rail depot until it was abandoned in 1988. It is presently the subject of a massive restoration process, with construction crews hard at work turning it into something suitable for our time and finding all sorts of interesting things in the process.
Over the past two years, the Blue Oval’s construction crews dug out more than 200 items, things like tickets and invoices, a saucer from a china set, and even a secret room containing an adding machine, baby shoes, and women’s shoes, among others.
