Exhibits

The Plymouth Historical Museum’s special exhibit “Made in America”
highlights America's contributions to industry throughout the years,
with a special emphasis on Michigan-made products thanks to exhibit
sponsors Aco Home, Garden & Hardware of Farmington Hills and
Poof-Slinky of Plymouth. The exhibit runs January 25 to June 9, 2013.

Visitors will find iconic American-made products throughout the
Museum's "Main Street," including a 1931 Ford Model A pick-up truck
belonging to Margaret Dunning, the Museum's major benefactor. Dunning
purchased the Model A about forty years ago; the vehicle is all
original and not refurbished and was madeduring the last two weeks of
production of the vehicle. Other notable items include eight pedal
cars from the collection of Greg Gladki of Westland, and a 1960s
vintage Texico gas pump that keeps the pedal cars fueled. The pedal
cars range from a 1920 Gendron to a 1964 1/2 AMF Mustang, as well as a
1941 Murray Pursuit Plane. The Museum also received loans of
American-made items from long-standing U.S. companies Wolverine, of
Cedar Springs, Michigan; Faribault Woolen Mill of Faribault,
Minnesota; and Wigwam, of Sheyboygan, Wisconsin. Many more items from the Museum's collections are scattered throughout the exhibit, giving
visitors a full sense of American ingenuity.

Hours of operation are Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 1-4
p.m. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for children (6-17). The Museum
is family friendly, with activities to engage visiting children. Tours
