SOLD OUT! NO TICKETS AVAILABLE !
Join me for this walking tour of historic Ferry Street in Detroit near DIA and learn about the people and institutions who made Ferry Street one of Detroit’s most historic neighborhoods . You must purchase a ticket through Eventbrite to attend the tour. After the tour, we could get lunch at Small World Kitchen.

Ferry Street today is known for its beautiful historic homes: Hecker House, Charles Lang Freer House, and the houses that make up the Inn on Ferry Street.
We explore the street that originated with the Ferry Seed Company farm established in the mid-1850s at the corner of East Ferry and Woodward to grow the seeds that were sold nationwide. Then came the prosperous residences in the mid-1880s and the Merrill Palmer Institute in the 1920s as well as population shifts to Jewish in the mid-1910s and to African American in the 1930s.
