Join Davison Travelers as we head on down to Michigan Central Station in Detroit, MI. Discover the rich history and incredible transformation of Michigan Central Station on this 90-minute guided station tour. First opened in 1913, the iconic Beaux-Arts structure once served as Detroit’s bustling railway hub until its closure in 1988. Now, as one of the city’s most beloved landmarks, the station is undergoing an ambitious restoration led by Ford Motor Company and Michigan Central.
Step inside Michigan Central Station and delve into its fascinating past, from the vision of railroad tycoon William Vanderbilt to its role as a sister station to New York City’s Grand Central Terminal. Expert guides will bring to life the station’s rich history, sharing stories of its grandeur, decline, and rebirth. This tour offers a rare opportunity to explore the historic spaces of the station, while learning about the continuing restoration process. Marvel at the work of over 3,100 skilled craftspeople, see how innovative technologies like 3D printing are being used, and learn about what’s next for Michigan Central.
I hope you worked up an appetite because we’re heading down to Southwest Detroit better known to many as MexicanTown. You’ll have 1.5 hours here as you’ll need time to grab lunch at one of the great restaurants on Bagley Street (MexicanTown, Taqueria Lupitas, Evie’s Tamales, Xochimilco, or Los Galanes). The choice is yours as lunch will be on your own. Afterwards grab a gift at Xochi’s Gift Shop and make sure you grab dessert at La Gloria Bakery. No stop is complete without a stop at Honeybee Market. There is an incredible selection of fresh produce. Especially inviting is the vast array of hot peppers. Similarly, you can find spices there that can be difficult to come by nearly anywhere else in the State.
