About this postcard

An aerial view of Camp Dearborn near Milford, Michigan, shows a full parking lot, a sandy beach crowded with bathers, and wooded picnic grounds along one of the camp's lakes. The 626-acre property was promoted as a "Citizens Country Club" owned and operated by the people of Dearborn, with six lakes and 115 acres of water on the Huron River in the rolling hills of Oakland County. A vacationer's note on the card reports a peaceful, quiet stay in the summer of 1968.
