Century Old Letter In A Bottle Found at MI Central Station
When excavating a really old building, you never know what you re going to find.
Over the last 2+ years, the Ford Motor Company has been working on renovating Michigan Central Station in Detroit. As crews work hard to fix up the building and turn it into an office workspace, they made a pretty cool discovery.
