Light Up the Cabin
​
Garden Party Fundraiser & Silent Auction
2020 event Cancelled due to Covid-19. 

Enjoy a rare glimpse of a Detroit historical home for an intimate garden party and fundraiser to benefit People for Palmer Park’s "Light up the Cabin" campaign. Proceeds raised will help continue restoration at Palmer Park's 1880s Log Cabin and also support People for Palmer Park's ongoing efforts to revitalize and beautify the Park. T
Tickets, $75, for this event are limited and in the past have sold out very quickly.


We will also have a fabulous silent auction with items such as hand-crafted jewelry, artwork, gift certificates to restaurants, hotels, events and other special opportunities!

Sevonty Restoration, experts in the repair and preservation of historic windows, will demonstrate and discuss the art of stained glass restoration that they used to restore our Log Cabin windows.  Historian/author Greg Piazza will debut his new book about the Palmers. Famed vocalist Kathy Kosins, will wear a different hat for this event and create paintings that will be be auctioned to help raise funds for Palmer Park. A. Spencer Barefield, is our special guest DJ for the event. 

The Log Cabin has undergone significant improvement since the City of Detroit rebuilt the roof, foundation, porch, and exterior. People for Palmer Park crowdfunded the restoration of the stained glass windows with Sevonty Restoration as well as the wooden Dutch front door with Darren Lasko of Detroit Millworks.

However, we still need to continue the restoration work so that the Log Cabin can be used more and more for special events, wedding, concerts, art exhibits, educational gatherings, storytimes and more. PFPP is working hard to bring back this legendary home, built in 1885 for Senator and Mrs. Palmer, who donated the land and the cabin to the City of Detroit as a public park for, as Senator Palmer stated "the good of everyone." 

You will be sent a map, address, parking directions and more details the week of the event. For more info contact barbara@peopleforpalmerpark.org or call Barbara Barefield, 313-891-2514.​
