Description | Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: detroithistorical.org: The America’s Motor City exhibition The exhibit incorporates the museum’s popular Automotive Showplace exhibit at its entrance, where cars from our collection are featured. Detroit 67: Perspectives Detroit: The "Arsenal of Democracy" Doorway to Freedom – Detroit and the Underground Railroad Legends Plaza Meier’s Wonderful Clock Motor City Music Origins: Life Where the River Bends Streets of Old Detroit Step into Detroit’s past and experience the city’s dramatic transformation from rural frontier town to industrial giant in three time periods: the 1840s, 1870s and 1900s. The Allesee Gallery of Culture The Glancy Trains The latest version of this model train layout includes a playful representation of rare artifacts and one-of-a kind trains, along with interactive buttons that control different functions, making it one of the Museum’s most popular attractions for children of all ages! In addition, the exhibit also includes four panels along the back wall that discuss the history of rail travel in Detroit — including railroads, the city’s train stations, the streetcars and trolley age, and interurbans. Two more panels located on the side walls of the gallery discuss model trains, the Glancy family and their train collection. Special thanks to our Glancy Train volunteers for all their work building and maintaining the layout.
