Discover the rich history and incredible transformation of a Detroit icon on this 90-minute guided station tour. First opened in 1913, the iconic Beaux-Arts structure once served as Detroit’s bustling railway hub until its closure in 1988. Now, as one of the city’s most beloved landmarks, the station is undergoing an ambitious restoration led by Ford Motor Company and Michigan Central.

Step inside Michigan Central Station and delve into its fascinating past—from the vision of railroad tycoon William Vanderbilt to its role as a sister station to New York City’s Grand Central Terminal. Expert guides will bring the station’s rich history to life, sharing stories of its grandeur, decline, and rebirth. This tour offers a rare opportunity to explore the historic spaces of the station while learning about the ongoing restoration process. Marvel at the work of more than 3,100 skilled craftspeople, see how innovative technologies like 3D printing are being used, and discover what’s next for Michigan Central.

Free parking at Roosevelt Park. $10 flat rate at Bagley Hub.
