Detroit Historical Museum

	Map		Reviews

Cobblestone streets, 19th Century stores, an auto assembly line, toy trains, a pilot house from a Great Lakes freighter, and a fur trading post from the 1700s are but a few of the wonders to see at the Detroit Historical Museums.

For over 70 years, the Museums have chronicled the life and times of the city, safeguarding its rich history. The Detroit Historical Museum offers the widest range of exhibits and educational programs, and attracts the greatest number of visitors. At the Museum, visitors walk through time in The Streets of Old Detroit with shops from the 1840s, 1870s and 1900s. They can glimpse the city's role in the Underground Railroad in the Doorway to Freedom exhibit. Children and adults alike delight in The Glancy Trains toy train exhibit, where they can blow whistles, lower crossing gates, and get an engineer's eye view from a TV camera mounted in one of the engines. The Museum also hosts a number of traveling and temporary exhibits.
