“Right in the Depot District, Model T Museum delivers two buildings, nine exhibitions, and over 40 vehicles, plus a working 1920s repair shop where historic tools still fix Model Ts today. Browse the museum store for books, restoration resources, and gifts that directly support the museum’s programs.”

“Wayne County Historical Museum packs eight buildings with local stories, from pioneer grit to industrial ingenuity, plus delightfully out-of-nowhere global finds like an Egyptian mummy and artifacts from Japan and the Middle East. It’s the kind of place you pop into for 30 minutes and accidentally stay all afternoon.”
