It's big, it's clean, easy off, easy back on the highway, you don't have to go to Monroe and you're no longer in Ohio, what's not to love? I usually end up here at night but if you're here in non-vampire hours there's an absolutely insane amount of travel brochures in a Hallmark store sized space built especially for them. I've even seen a show flyer here for a band playing at the Lager House in Detroit. I can't say that for any other rest stop. Great place to stretch my legs and pick up some caffeine for the last leg of my trip back home. The last time I wound up here was coming back from Columbus on New Year's Eve during a blizzard. I meant to be in Detroit to ring in the New Year but the snow slowed me up enough for me to know that wasn't going to happen. I honestly thought about staying at this rest stop for an extra twenty minutes here just to say I rang in 2025 here. I ultimately decided I'd be pretty bored and that I'd go on my weary way into the snowy night just to pass midnight on some random spot on I-75 but just the fact I even considered this wacky plan should speak to this being a really nice res, er, welcome center. Praise Michigan!

Know as the Ellis branch of the Monroe County Library System, this building was dedicated in 2010,…read moreso it is state of the art as far as libraries go. This library is located on the shores of the River Raisin. During the early spring, you can see the sugaring taking place at the nearby Navarre-Anderson Trading Post. The site is a beautiful place to observe the changing seasons in Monroe. The accommodations are excellent and there is a separate children's library. There are many cultural events that take place here, such as jazz concerts, movies, etc. I'm glad I found this branch of the library!

This community library is amazing. I didn't have access to my computer for a while, so I went to…read morethe library to type something out. Not being that familiar with their Dell computers, I asked for help (more than once). Everyone was amazing, and very helpful. Oh, and to print something out off the computer, it's only .15 a page (but if you are a library member- I think you get five free pages a day). For an amazing day, go to the library, then go take a walk around the Toledo Botanical Gardens. If it's hot, the library is air conditioned. If it's hot, walk through the shade garden, at the Toledo Botanical Gardens (the Gardens are free). I noticed that some adults had brought their children. While the adults did work on one computer, the children were set up on an adjoining one to play games, or look at interesting information. (There is also a coloring area for the kids, with paper and crayons). If you need to rest, or read something not too long, there is a fireplace at one end of the library, with comfortable chairs to read or just rest. We have some wonderful places to go in Toledo, that don't have an entry fee.

I would definitely recommend this is a Place to read, work & introduce children to a love of libraries. The unfortunate downside is that most of the sitting space is for computers, as most of the patrons are using those- not books . The book section is very pop culture.

When we first pulled up to the site there was a gaggle of historical reenactors dressed in…read moreuncomfortable woolen outfits holding muskets. They gotta be crazy about this place. Me, I thought it was pretty meh. My brother-in-law said his daughters were pretty salty about a former ice rink getting turned into the museum here and from the vast amount of empty space on one side you can tell they were light on material and/or budget. The model of the fort was probably my favorite part but that only takes five or ten minutes tops. There is a number of very mediocre nature murals and models of period dwellings sometimes with cheap mannequins hanging out. It doesn't take long for a walkthrough. This place isn't exactly Greenfield Village. My brother-in-law got the attendants to give us a special screening of a short documentary made about the big battle of the War of 1812 that took place here. It was decent and this outing would have felt really underwhelming without it. I don't know what the usual schedule and criteria for screenings is. Not much of a national park as evidenced by the modest gift shop selling merchandise for larger and more well known national parks. The field itself is just that, a big ol field without so much as a hiking trail with historical markers. I'm glad we were able to pair this with the Michigan Museum of Horror for our Monroe expedition as I don't know if either, this especially, was worth the trip alone.
