Best History Museum in Windsor

"Designed to present Detroit’s rich, layered history in an easy-to-grasp manner, Detroit Historical Museum—in Midtown—is operated by the Detroit Historical Society. In 2015 the museum added five permanent exhibits, including “Detroit: The Arsenal of Democracy” and the “Kid Rock Music Lab.” Many locals equate “the Streets of Old Detroit” (emulating the 1840s, 1870s and 1900s) with their childhood—walk on the cobblestone streets to learn why. The Historical Museum is also only 2 miles from Motown Museum, making it easy to visit both in the same day."

"This museum was established to preserve and document the history, growth, and development of Detroit and its people, including the fascinating "Motor City" exhibit. Children love "Streets of Old Detroit," with its cobblestone streets and old-fashioned storefronts. Other exhibits chronicle Detroit's history as a fur-trading outpost, the Underground Railroad routes leading through Detroit, and the old Boblo Amusement Park."

"The Detroit Historical Museum is situated in the cultural centre of the historic district of Midtown Detroit. The museum is the house which details the entire history of Detroit. It illustrates the cobblestone streets that the city is known for, the 19th-century stores, toy trains, and so on."

"Detroit’s Automotive Hall of Fame draws car buffs from all over the world. It is located very near to the Henry Ford Museum. Visitors can design their own cars and can involve in safety displays."

"Whether you want a look behind the curtain at the home life of one of Detroit’s most famous families or to experience an impressive and authentic piece of period architecture, the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House is a must-visit. The son of Henry Ford and his wife moved into their home on Gaukler Pointe near Grosse Pointe Shores in 1929, and Eleanor gifted it to a trust for the benefit of the public when she died in 1976."

"Located in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Fair Lane is the former home of automaker Henry Ford and his wife Clara. The Fords settled into their new home in 1915 and lived there until their deaths in 1947 and 1950. The grounds of Fair Lane include a powerhouse hydropower plant, which gave the estate the independence to produce its own power, heat, and light."

"The home of famous automotive pioneer Henry Ford and his wife Clara both lived here from 1915 till 1950. It was built with 56 rooms of carved stone and wooden artworks. It also includes his own garage, his best collections of car, and a wonderful garden with waterscapes."

"If we’re talking about unique museums in Detroit, we can’t skip Fair Lane. It was the estate of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford and his wife, Clara Ford. It has been open for historic tours and events recently, but it’s periodically closed due to restoration work."

"America’s favorite all-day, everyday stop for coffee, espresso, breakfast sandwiches and donuts. Order your Dunkin’ faves via the drive-thru or order ahead of time with the Dunkin’ mobile app for a fast grab and go experience."

"When a place names itself after a certain thing, you should always get that thing, and Apple Fritter is no exception. If you get here early enough you can catch these guys still serving fresh, hot apple fritters right out of the oven – like warm, cinnamony apple pie, but in donut form."

"Just as the name implies this Ferndale fried dough emporium offers a display case filled with fritters as well as other cake, old fashioned, raised, filled, and cruller options. We like the walnut-topped fritter and the nutty glazed doughnut, a yeast doughnut covered in peanuts."

"Although the name points you to fritters, they have a wide repertoire of tasty donuts and other baked goods. Just east of downtown Ferndale, there’s easy grab-and-go with their parking lot out front. Also, they just celebrated 30 years in business."
