MUSEUMS
Art lovers will want to stop at the Dearborn City Gallery,
4th Floor, Dearborn City Hall, 13615 Michigan Ave, 313-943-3095.
Here you will find works by Michigan artists and ethnic artifacts
from the region.
To learn more about Dearborn's history drop by the Dearborn
Historical Museum, 915 South Brady, 313-565-3000. A visit here
will give you a chance to view two different historical sites.
The Commandant's Quarters, which was built in 1833, has military
exhibits and a Civil War era jail. Touring the McFadden Ross
House will give you a chance to see how people lived around the
turn of the century. The Museum also has an archive which includes
thousands of photos covering Dearborn's history.
You won't want to leave town without first visiting the Henry
Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, 20900 Oakwood Blvd., 313-271-1620
or 800-TELL-A FRIEND. In the museum you will find exhibits on
agriculture, furniture, home arts, silver and pewter, American,
British, and European ceramics, communication, lighting, clocks
and watches, glassware, jewelry, the American Life Collection
Gallery, transportation, and the Automobile in American Life.
You'll see a 1909 Bleriot Monoplane, a lunar rover, the Lincoln
in which President Kennedy was riding in Dallas, and a collection
of locomotives.
Next head across the street to the Spirit of Ford Center.
Here you'll find all kinds of neat interactive displays where
you can take a wild ride on a test rack, try designing a car
body, and even build your own car. This stop will be a hit on
your Dearborn tour, especially with kids.
Then head outside and begin wandering through Greenfield Village.
Here you'll find over 80+ historic buildings including the Wright
Brother's home and bicycle shop, Thomas Edison's Menlo Park Laboratory,
the Logan County Courthouse, and the Mattox House. On the grounds
you'll also find a working carousel, a master potter, the Suwanee
steamboat, and a 1880s farm which raises Merino sheep. If you
get hungry during all this touring, they have several restaurants
on the grounds so you won't faint!
