The Arab American National Museum (AANM) is the first and only museum in the United States devoted to Arab American history and culture. The AANM is located in the heart of metro Detroit's Arab American community. Through its interactive hands-on exhibits, the AANM documents and presents the Arab American story. By bringing the voices and faces of Arab Americans to its audiences, the AANM affirms its commitment to dispel the many misconceptions about Arab Americans and other minorities. The museum brings to light the shared experiences of immigrants and ethnic groups, while paying tribute to the diversity of our nation.
The Historical Society of Lincoln Park and its supporters collect and preserve artifacts, as well as printed and photographic materials pertaining to the history of Lincoln Park. We have interesting materials about the early French and German settlers and much about early Ecorse Township. These items are displayed with pride at the Lincoln Park Historical Museum.
Backstory: Across the vast landscape of America, many places have the power to capture our imagination with the stories of the people who lived there and the events that took place there. But only one place has the power to tell the story of the American Experience as a whole. And that place is The Henry Ford. When Henry Ford first created his historic museum and village, nobody had ever seen anything quite like it. And nobody has ever since. In a single location, he brought together dozens of buildings and millions of artifacts — one of the largest collections of its kind ever assembled.
