The Michigan History Center is filled with unique exhibits that detail Michigan's past. The museum has a gallery dedicated to the early European explorers who explored and founded Michigan, and there is a Civil War exhibit that contains all sorts of mementos from the 19th century conflict. Michigan's role in the Underground Railroad and the anti-slavery movement is also displayed through artifacts, written works, and paintings.
In the 1950s gallery, guests can learn all about Michigan's claim to fame as the nation's hub for automobile manufacturing.
