Historical Museum
The Trenton Historical Museum, located at the corner of St. Joseph and Third
Streets, has been home to Trenton’s rich history for half a century. Former home
of John and Sarah Moore, this Victorian period home contains information on the
history of Trenton and artifacts of the area. In an effort to restore the home to its
former glory, the Trenton Historical Commission has announced the “Puzzle Pieces
for Preservation” fundraising campaign. A 2,000 piece puzzle of the museum has
been created and will be on display throughout the campaign. Puzzle pieces can
be sponsored with a donation of $30 each. The goal is to raise the $60,000 needed
to put the pieces of the Historical Museum back together. Tax deductible contributions may be made to the Trenton Firefighter’s Charities. For more information
contact the Historical Commission at (734) 675-6500 or visit www.trentonmi.org.
The museum is open every Saturday from 1-4 p.m. except January and August. In December, the museum is beautifully decorated for the holiday season. To arrange special tours, call 675-2130.

Wildlife Refuge
33
The Detroit River International Wildlife
Refuge (IWR) is located along the lower
Detroit River and western shoreline of Lake
Erie. The refuge, part of the National Wildlife Refuge System and managed by the
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, is one of over
540 national wildlife refuges.
It was established in 2001 as the first
International Wildlife Refuge in North
America. The refuge includes islands,
coastal wetlands, marshes, shoals, and waterfront lands along 48 miles of shoreline.
Its location is unique, situated in a major
metropolitan area.
The refuge obtained the Humbug complex, made up of Humbug Island, Humbug
Marsh, and adjacent undeveloped upland
habitats, in 2004. It includes 410 acres of
unique fish and wildlife habitats in Trenton
and Gibraltar, Michigan. Humbug Marsh
represents the last mile of natural shoreline
on the U.S. mainland of the Detroit River.
Because the wetlands of the Humbug
complex are home to such a high diversity
of fish and wildlife, it has been identified
as Michigan’s only “wetland of international importance” under the international
Ramsar Convention - nothing like it exists
anywhere outside the Great Lakes. For info
visit www.fws.gov/midwest/detroitriver.

Automotive
Storm Water Runoff
Pollution comes from:
• Take used motor oil and antifreeze
to gas stations that accept recyclable
automotive fluids, or to a hazardous
materials collection center. Did you
know that dumping one quart of motor oil down a storm drain contaminates 250,000 gallons of water?
• Have your car maintained regularly to
prevent oil, antifreeze and fluid leaks.
• Reduce automotive emissions through
routine auto maintenance, ride sharing
and public transportation.
• Conserve water when washing your
car and use biodegradable soap. Clean
engines at a “Do It Yourself Car
Wash” where the drainage is not connected to the storm drain.
• You can control pollution by supporting City and County activities to
keep your streets clean. You can help
by participating in recycling, river
clean-ups, and the proper disposal of
hazardous materials.
• Automotive leaks and spills.
