Along Pontiac Trail

This road is a story with many chapters.
On Pontiac Trail people have traveled on foot, on horseback and on wheels, tracing the story of Wixom and southeast Michigan. It was vital in prehistory as a Native American footpath, and in 1828 it became a territorial road that guided the early settlement of the region. It became Wixom's "Main Street" over many years and with many names - the Indian Path, Town Line Avenue, 14 Mile Road, Walled Lake Road and M218. In 1940 it became Pontiac Trail, connecting Pontiac and Ann Arbor.
