Great guided tours available, awesome piece of Detroit history, as well as the Ford Motor Company. If you love old cars and manufacturing history, definitely stop here.

The tour guide was amazing. He had extensive knowledge of the history and importance of the site. I highly recommend the tour. If you are an automobile or history buff this is a must see and even if you aren't you will find it enjoyable. If you go in winter be sure to dress warmly.

Packed with rare historic cars that, paired with a tour, gives even a non-motorhead like me an appreciation for how Henry Ford innovated his vehicles over time to create the cars we see on the road today (as well as some common American catch-phrases). The historic factory building is also really cool to see along with its story about the grassroots movement that retooled the factory one window at a time to make it the museum that it is today.

A well preserved little museum that should be a must for every person interested in the history of Detroit or of the automobile in general. The guides are volunteers and do an amazing job at involving the visitors in the tour.
Tours are 1hour and 30 minutes long and I suggest to look online the hours for the guided ones. There is also always a Groupon for this museum, and it's a great idea for the winter weekend. Could it get any better?response / report this review -

Great place to be if you line vintage Ford models like A,B,C and T models. This is the first company owned factory of Ford and this is where it all begun.Public tour starts Wed-Sun 10 am, 12 pm and 2 pm.

The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant features an incredible amount of automotive history. I was fortunate enough to visit the plant during its unveiling of the Secret Experimental room — lots of work was put into restoring it to its former glory.
An exciting place to visit!response / report this review -

Had an amazing two hour tour given by Jerry this morning. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the building and the cars within. Learned so much about the early days of car manufacturing in the states. Be mindful that it is warm in the building even with the portable type of air conditioning. Great to see they use the space for weddings as well as an extra source of revenue.

What an awesome piece of history! This is probably the best little museum for the true roots of Detroit and automobiles. The tour guides are incredibly knowledgeable, and the whole experience was just fantastic. I can't recommend this place enough!

Definitely recommend to go there when you're in Detroit! A museum in the original plant, displaying Ford cars of the previous century. The guides are so nice, because we didn't have a lot of them, one of them offered us to show us around real quick for free! Had a great time there :)
