The Huron River History Book
The following histories of the Huron River were compiled as part of HRWC’s “Huron RIVERfest ’93″. A limited edition was published for distribution as part of the festivities that accompanied the paddlers who spent eight days paddling the length of the Huron River.
The histories are organized beginning at the source of the Huron River and ending at its mouth where it enters Lake Erie. All of the links are pdf files.
