Other Things To See In The Detroit Area

Other interesting sites include the historic homes of the auto barons.  The Matilda Dodge Wilson Estate on the Oakland University campus in Rochester is less than 10 miles from us.  They have a very impressive holiday walk.  The Dodge Estate / Meadowbrook is very close to the Daimler-Chrysler American headquarters.  The Edsel and Eleanor Ford House is located in exclusive Grosse Pointe Shores on Lake St Clair.  The Henry Ford Estate is located next to the Fairlane Mall on the University of Michigan Dearborn campus.  This is also near the Henry Ford Museum and of course the Ford World Headquarters.

The University of Michigan is located in Ann Arbor, about 60 miles from us.  Well known for its Aerospace Engineering department, an afternoon browsing through one of the libraries can be most interesting.  Ann Arbor itself is a very nice town to visit.

An hours drive north of us (20 minute flight) is the small town of Frankenmuth.  It is called "Michigan's Little Bavaria" and features many small shops and outstanding restaurants.  Just outside of town is Bronner's Christmas Wonderland.  It is the largest Christmas store in the world that attracts over 2 million people per year.  They will pick you up from the small grass airstrip (66G) just outside of town.
