Politics and Processions
On Courthouse Square


The Ann Arbor Guard and the Ypsilanti Light Guard formed a procession to honor former President Grover Cleveland before he delivered the annual Washington's Birthday Address at university Hall, February 22, 1892.

This speech marked the launch of his successful national campaign for an unpreceneted non-consecutive second term. Cleveland and his wife received visitors in the courthouse that evening.
