Detroit Historical Museum
The Detroit Historical Museum in Downtown allows visitors the
chance to tour the scope of the city’s history, from Antoine
de la Mothe Cadillac’s landing on the banks of the Detroit
River through the city’s emergence as an industrial capital.
In the museum it is possible to walk through the streets of Old
Detroit and explore 19th-century shops. Visitors can also find out
about Detroit’s role in the ‘underground
railroad’ that helped slaves escape from the South. The
interactive Glancy Trains toy train exhibit delights young and
old.
