Established in 1891, Detroit’s Eastern Market is the largest historic market district in the United States. This cultural and commercial landmark remains a bustling, vital place today on several levels: a wholesale market featuring the freshest local produce, a weekly Saturday shopping tradition for thousands of metro Detroiters, a special-event venue and the original home for some of the city’s oldest specialty food and dining businesses.

Although much has changed through the years, Eastern Market is still a place for generations of metro Detroiters to gather to buy produce and plants, shop its unique stores, enjoy a great meal and meet friends both old and new—all in a historic and authentic market setting. Detroit’s Historic Eastern Market honors this legacy through a collection of stunning images that show the evolution of the area.
