…APRIL…
FORD PIQUETTE PLANT
Thurs., April 2, 11:00 am - 3:30 pm
It might look old-fashioned now, but in 1908
the Model T was revolutionary. Inexpensive,
light weight, durable, and easy to drive and
repair, it was a great value for ordinary families.
It quickly became the most popular car on the
planet. The Model T changed not only what we
drove then, but how we live today. And it was
conceived, developed, and built right here.
Today, you can visit the birthplace of the Model
T. The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant is again
open and evolving into a symbol of Detroit’s
ability to invent, innovate, and rebound. Walk
the plank floors worn smooth by hundreds
of workers and thousands of cars. See Henry
Ford’s competition, his early successes and
false starts. Learn how volunteers saved one of
the world’s most significant industrial buildings
and support the ongoing restoration and education projects in the mechanical heart of Detroit. Afterwards (of course), lunch on your
own at a one of Detroit’s hot spots! (TBA)

program, non-residents may register beginning

ROYAL OAK SECTION: An annual $40
facility fee will be assessed to all Royal Oak
section residents participating in latchkey,
camps and/or the pool. A 25% surcharge is
also in effect for latchkey and the pool membership. Royal Oak section residents also pay
the additional $5/class. These fees are in place
to equalize the tax burden borne by Huntington Woods residents.
