Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps, Campus Traditions, and the Women Who Made Them

Celebrate the centennial of the iconic "Down in Ann Arbor Town" map with a presentation by the curators of the exhibit: Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps, Campus Traditions, and the Women Who Made Them. Ava Pustulka ('28) and Anna Rohl, Map Curator, will share some of the research that went into the creation of the exhibit, including how the “Down in Ann Arbor Town” map came to be and the cartographic context that produced it. Join us in person or via Zoom.

Light refreshments provided. Copies of a special centennial reprinting of the map will be available to take home, while supplies last. Attendees are invited to view the exhibit and a selection of maps from the Clark Library Map Collection in the Clark Library (2nd Floor of Hatcher Graduate Library South) before and after the presentation.
