Chamber offers new postcards dedicated to Nehasil Park, Wilson Barn

Livonia postcards featuring Larry Nehasil Park and Wilson Barn are now available at the Livonia Chamber of Commerce.

It is the first time in recent history the chamber offered postcards, but the new mementos were inspired by requests by visitors to the chamber office.

“There are a number of people who frequently who ask if we have Livonia postcards,” said Chamber President Dan West. “You usually think about postcards sold at tourist-type places. We may not be a tourist destination but there are quite a few Livonia residents who want them. I think that really speaks to how much Livonians appreciate their community.”

The new postcards will sell for 25 cents each. One postcard features one of Livonia’s newest landmarks, Larry Nehasil Park which was dedicated in October. The other postcard features one of Livonia’s most historic sites, Wilson Barn, which dates back to the 1830s.

The postcards, West said, will give residents and business owners a chance to promote Livonia.


“This should give those people a new way to express their Livonia pride,” he added.

The postcards will be sold in the lobby of the Livonia Chamber of Commerce, located on Five Mile just east of Farmington Road. After the holiday break, office hours are weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
