Things get made in Michigan. Consult a schematic of Detroit history to connect the
Ford dynasty and the
myriad auto companies that followed to the
Willow Run assembly line churning out B-24 bombers during WWII. But this ingenuity also lives in the crispness of
Vernor’s Ginger Ale and the handcrafted perfection of
Pewabic Pottery. From the postwar idyll of Detroit’s
Grand River and Greenfield neighborhood to the
ghostly trickster at the capitol in Lansing, flip the switch on Michigan history with our Michigan history books.
