People for Palmer Park's annual Log Cabin Day is held the last Sunday of June in Detroit's Palmer Park. In addition to the once-a-year tours of Senator Thomas and Lizzie Merrill Palmer's 1880's log cabin (only existing Log Cabin in Detroit), there are performers, hat-making and hat & bonnet parade/contest, food, facepainting, free ice cream, and other family fun. One of the highlights is the 102nd USCT Black Civil War History Group, who sets up camp and provides deep insights into American history. This video shows a member of the group who speaks about the significance of quilts in the Underground Railroad and how symbols and designs embedded in the quilts helped to lead slaves to freedom.
