In addition to the Detroit Institute of Art, the Motown Museum, and the Fox Theater, my wife Sydjia and I also visited a hidden gem: the original Ford factory on Piquette Avenue (Wikipedia page here), the birthplace of the first mass-produced automobile, the revolutionary Ford Model T. In its heyday, Henry Ford’s historic factory employed over 1,000 workers (men and women!) from all over the world. Highly recommended! Our tour guide, Jerry Elmy, is a local treasure. (Among other things, we learned that the origins of such terms and phrases as cranky, self-starter, and want a lift? can be traced back to these first-generation cars.)
