Downtown East Dearborn Historic Walking Tour

Join Ian Tomashik of Preservation Dearborn and Mason Christensen, of the Dearborn Historical Museum, on an exploration of the old Dearborn City Hall grounds and the east downtown streets near Michigan and Schaefer. Largely developed during the 1920s, the district quickly exploded in size thanks to the expansion of the nearby Ford Rouge Plant. On the tour, learn about interesting former businesses whose structures are almost hiding in plain sign. Hear why east Downtown Dearborn located where it did. Furthermore, learn the geographic difference between Fordson, Springwells Township, and Dearborn Township.
