Welcome to Detroit – the city that put America on wheels and broadcast the Motown sound around the world!

We will explore the role our city played in shaping the success of the car and shipping industries and the work our neighbors contribute to their successes.

Reminisce about the 20th century in Detroit, with the iconic people, places and moments that made this region your home.
