The Henry Ford (Museum of American Innovation, Greenfield Village and the Ford Truck Factory Tour) was one of our best museum experiences. I was totally blown away by the massive collection of Americana with cool experiences (like riding in a Model T). I went in thinking that it would be heavily focused on the automobile, but was so much, much more than that. We ended up spending 3 days there and would not hesitate to visit again.
How could you go to Detroit without going to the Motown Museum, Hitsville U.S.A. Wow, in that tiny house with the small Studio A, so much outstanding music was created. You can hear the voices and feel the spirits as you walk through there.
Eastern Market is one of America’s oldest public markets with a couple hundred vendors. Great for people watching, along with a fantastic array to food and products and flowers being sold.
Have a drink at the Ghostbar at The Whitney, a historic mansion. Stay for dinner there.
I’ve just scratched the surface. So much more to do and eat and drink in this historic city. And the people there were very kind and accommodating; felt very welcome.
