    What are you waiting for?? Go visit the library of dreams! This big beautiful library can never…read moredisappoint, even if you just go in and explore for a while. When you go in, I recommend going all the way to the left where they have a room that features a few walls of interesting books. They're always rotating so you get an amazing mixture of everything-- spirituality, history, economics, politics, religion... I think that's kind of the theme of that area. That's my favorite. They also have several different sort of resource centers. The most amazing thing is the upstairs, it's like a museum. It has art all over the ceilings that transport you to Europe. It's a nice place to study, there's huge rooms to do so, one with a view outside to the art museum. You can usually have an entire huge table to yourself! I won't say too much more, go look for yourself!

    Across from the Institute of Art is the main branch he Detroit Public Library.

This Main Library is part of Detroit's Cultural Center Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places. This marble Italian Renaissance building is over 100 years old. A lot of history has been made here. In 1970 Clara Stanton Jones became the 1st African American and 1st woman to serve as director of a major library system in America, as director of the Detroit Public Library.

    This place was awesome. I had never visited before, but my husband and I took a tour today of the…read moremain house. Tours are $20 and you're welcome to walk the grounds after, plus stop by the Playhouse (tiny house that was for the Ford's 7-year-old granddaughter) and the garage, where five antique vehicles are housed. The tour lasts an hour, our tour guide was Dan and he was great. My husband works for Ford so I thought he'd find the tour interesting, too. There's another tour, called Nooks and Crannies, that dives deeper into the house and it's history, and I'd like to take that one next. The grounds themselves are beautiful and there is a lot to see, including the displays in the Visitors Center, Bird Island, and the places I mentioned above. The Visitors Center also has a gift shop. I've heard they do concerts here in the summer, and I saw on Instagram that they will have a butterfly house, too, so I'll have to come back another time for that. Overall, I really enjoyed Ford House and hope to come back for the other tour at some point too.

    We have been coming here for years, in fact we became members a few years back…read more Did you know you can purchase a ground pass only? Did you know they have concerts on the lawn in the summer? Did you know they have a wonderful restaurant on site? Did you know they have bird walks twice a year, in the spring and in the fall? Did you know they have a wonderful gift shop (and members save 20%) That's just a few reasons why we love this place! It's a go to for out of town guests. They are constantly changing up the house tours so it never gets old. If you have never visited give it a try, you will love it!

The women will welcome and offer you a tour of the home or you can simply shop in their second hand vintage "store" in a dedicated room. They sell items both old and a couple new. The items are fairly priced but I still ended up passing on a beautiful gravy boat with a tray and I will regret it forever haha. They very welcoming to littles and offered a cookie after our permission. Just such a thoughtful gesture. They also have a restroom in case needed. In the back of the house there's a cabin from the late 1800's with a tombstone. The energy was really great so that's always nice. Definitely worth visit, even if you just have a few minutes. The house itself is very unique and beautiful. They are donation based but are not pushy whatsoever.
