Reviews of Ford Piquette Avenue Plant (Museum)

Ivan Knez

Great place! Take tour! We had knowledgeable, passionate tour guide. We had nice time. Didn't put 5 stars because felt that it was a little too long of a tour and by the end of it half of the people left.

I'll start by saying, I'm not s Ford guy, but this building, contents and tour went way dealer than just the Ford roots. This building exemplified engineering roots at its finest, even structurally. So cool.

B. Smith

Jerry was a fabulous, patient, knowledgeable, funny, and engaging tour guide. He was very enthusiastic the whole time, going over minute details of the cars at times. The building itself was a treat with its wood floors, beams, fire doors, and old charm. Having all of these cars in one building, in my opinion, gets you the most bang for your buck considering other museums. The entire staff was friendly. Overall this is a must see in Detroit.

Allen Ward

Wonderful historic journey of automobile manufacturing and the originally Ford's first assembly plant

This is one of the little jewels that is in the city of Detroit I'd have never known that it existed if I wasn't riding my bicycle around downtown. The tour guides know quiet a lot of the history and we had a very enjoyable time Thank you Dick,Patrica,and to all the volunteers that make it happen.

Terence Parker

A killer museum in the heart of Detroit! The perfect place for that car enthusiast and history buffs out there. It does a wonderful job depicting the history of the auto industry. Their car collection is out of this world! I highly recommend purchasing a ticket and exploring with one of their tour guides. They are amazing! The private gravel lot is nice and safe, along with the surrounding lots and street parking. There are a ton of stairs to the second floor of the museum, but there is an elevator for those accessibility-friendly individuals. This museum has a little bit of everything for everyone! It is truly a gem, a must-see during your time in Detroit!

Grant Kersten

Vist the place where the world changed with the advent of the model T. The plant itself is plain but the cars located here give you a slice of what was made here

Gabriel Ortuno

Excellent piece of history! A must see! The staff is awesome!

Lauri Plesco

Beautiful historic sight of Ford motor company's first major manufacturing plant.

Berkley Cole

Very enjoyable tour. Tom, the tour guide was knowledgeable, fun and seems to really know his Ford trivia. Definitely worth a stop.

Sergio Perelli

This was a really awesome visit in the very First Henry Ford plant. Here happens everything befor the well known stories about the Tin Lizzy and the available color of them. Thanks also to our tour guide! Need to visit this place!

Kathy Skupski

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.

Mark Bratschi

Absolutely a MUST for any car lover. APX 2 hours to see it all.

Jay Tosh

Great hidden gem. Docent that did the tour was fantastic, very knowledgeable and made it interesting to learn about these cars and the history of how the plant ran

Carlos Rodríguez

A very historic building, the car collection is good, however all the other displays and the gift shop are extremely lacking. The only child friendly activity is a box of match box cars and a filthy playmat carpet.

Lura McCoy

I enjoyed the place. They had many mant different types of model cars built by The Ford Company (A-T models). The tour guide had a lot of good information on the cars and about the wage and how they were paid. The womens restroom was very cool I liked it a lot. The only down of the trip was the gift shop, there wasn't a miniature build of a model A-T car. It would've been pretty cool. Only downside of the trip

Frank Christina

It's in the National Registry of Historic places. Many rare and historically important cars are housed there. The building still needs much more renovation, but one can feel the pride and joy in being part of this experience through the eyes of the guides.

Phil Pantano

Awesome place. Our tour guide Dick was amazing the knowledge he has.

Tina Tabbi

Awesome tour, I highly recommend it to everyone!

Dave Verma

Judy Christie

Joshua Richards

Very interesting tour given by a retired auto engineer. The docents are knowledgeable and engaged, and lots of car afficianados in the group too, so there were good questions. There's currently an exhibit of all the Ford Models A through T on loan for just a few more years. They also have events so it's worth going back.

Ereck Boykin

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!

Cody Moore

Our tour was fantastic! Tom our tour guide was very informative and funny. This is a great place to visit. My husband and I learned a lot about the Model T and Henry Ford. This building is a hidden gem right in the heart of Detroit.

Brendan Short

Attended the Model T Celebration with my children here. Great atmosphere and so much to do! A free event with rides around the block on a real Model T, a kids zone, free museum entry and fun activities for the kids. Loved it.

Evan

Arrived about 1pm on September 11 thought I was going to through take some pictures... ended up on the tour and over two hours later my head crammed with more knowledge I ever thought possible, right down to the chalk based paint and the 1904 sprinkler system our guide was amazing.

Jordon Scappaticci

Great visit for model T birthday celebration. We joined up! Will be back soon

Rod Smith

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.

Chris Kapp

Really neat place with lots of old Ford cars from the early 1900's. Definitely worth a visit

Spencer Harper

Lots of passionate people here

Robert Walker

Took the 10am tour. It was amazing. The guide gave us so much information and told fun stories, more than what one could read on the plaques. The cost was the same. Plus, there were so many antique cars to look at up close. I highly recommend this tour

Luke P.

I have taken the tour twice each with a different group of friends. How fortunate we are to have this gem restored and available to us. The guides are extremely knowledgeable.

Crimson Chef

Go back in time and see the wonders of the automobile. This place is worth the trip and the guide is amazing. You’ll walk out of the experience amazed. Go visit this beautiful heritage.

David Stevens

Tim Hortons has come a long way but they real good

Carl Panizzi

The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant is a must visit if you are in Detroit. It is located about 3 miles from the Tigers Comerica Park. Plan to spend about 2-3 hours here. Tickets are $12 for an adult and there is a 30 minute movie and a guided tour available several times a day. Nearly all cars on display are fully operational. Most leak oil or fluid and can be seen with a pan underneath to collect the runoff.

Joseph Sames

I came for a wedding reception dinner. It is an old Model T factory that now has a banquet hall on the third floor. There is a Ford museum in the building. The caterer was fantastic. The music was also quite nice. The guitarist and violinist never played together before tonight and they make a great team. We had some Swedish Meatballs, Sesame Chicken, and some other appetizers. All were perfect. Tasty, moist, warm, and only made me want more. Our table was well served. I had the hand cut filet mignon with Santa Ana Potato and charred Broccoli. Flavorful, juicy, tender, awesome! I am asking about the caterer... they did a great job. Just got the 411 on the caterer the name is Andiamothey did a great job. The servers are quick, accurate, polite, and very attentive. The married couple arrived in a 1921 Model T Ford. And the music, though full of Beatles music had a Roaring Twenties vibe. What a great time.

This is an absolute gem, surprisingly close to midtown Detroit. It is wonderful to get to see the building where the Model T was developed, and where the first 12,000 were built. The museum is a nonprofit institution, and it was pretty clear that the 2 guides present for our visit were there due in part to a long affiliation with the auto business. Seeing the original offices, a re-creation of the development room, and a stunning variety of all early Ford vehicles makes for a wonderful introduction to this part of Detroit's history, and is a nice way to support the continued existence of this building. The tour, blessedly, took longer than we thought it would, as our guide had lots of wonderful information to share with us.

Michael Herbert

A 100 yr old bldg turned unique and amazing venue. For this wedding celebration And Andiamo catered dinner.... Very good quality.

Walking the floors of this Ford manufacturing plant and offices made me feel more a part of the auto history than I have felt in any other location in the city. In addition, there is a beautiful car collection on site. And I found the docents both enthusiastic and knowledgeable, so it was an excellent visit to a Detroit classic.

Sharon Cooper-Jones

Very cool museum! The tour guide we had was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter, which im turn made his audience very invested in the story he was trying to tell. He was even very good with the people who tend to annoyingly ask questions in the middle of him talking and want to hold up the tour with extremely detailed questions that aren't appropriate for the little amount of time they have the tour group for. He was very polite. I don't even like cats that much and I loved it. My boyfriend who is sooo interested in cars was so into it I could barely drag him away. Also, cool note, you can have your wedding there if you're so inclined!

A very cool stop if you're visiting Detroit. It's sort of an evolving work-in-progress, but they have acquired an impressive collection of vehicles going back to the beginning of Ford's era. You can self-guide if you want, but the walking tour was worth it. Be aware that, if you visit in the winter time, there is no heat so it's almost the same temp as outside.

For $12 and about 2 hours of your time, this is a place worth visiting. The tour guide was knowledgeable, he had a lot of anecdotes to tell, the place was kept clean, cars were shining, and you get to go in an old 1915 Model T to take a picture. Call in advance to know at which time the tours start, you can visit by your own but the tour is definitely better (you can stay after to read all the signs and take pictures). About 4 minute from the Q-Line stop; a bit of a shady neighbourhood but you're in Detroit so this is expected.

The history of this place is amazing, it was saved from the wrecking ball, and brought back to life. The cars in here (examples of every Letter car Henry Ford ever made are here.

This place is awesome, not just for the sheer number of vintage cars on display, but also for the tour guide who makes the 1-1.5 hrs engaging. Tip- the place is obscure and you may think it is closed. In fact, the entrance is to the building's right side from the parking lot.

Nice place to appreciate the history of Henry Ford and the Model T. Our tour guide was fabulous. Staff was very friendly . He provided us so much information about the Model T and how Mr. Ford made it the most affordable car available to the common person. It was revolutionary in how it changed society. They had many vintage Model T's and one which you could actually sit in and touch.

Henry's very first production model didn't have a name so he used the alphabet. The first one was an "A" in 1904. Great Motown history.

Deborahe Eagle

It's so awesome seeing all the old model t's and others. So simple but awesome.

Joseph Ament

We had such a great tour of the plant and learned a lot about not just the Model T but also Ford and the car industry in Detroit. Grew up here but museum is relatively new. Highly recommend if at interested in the history of Detroit or automobiles.

Went here for a wedding reception, and the decore and feel of this place is astounding. You ride up in an old factory elevator, and the building feels so aestheticly pleasing. They have a ton of old cars, and the place is very roomy. Highly recommend.

Mircea Brăţan

Very nice Venue, had never been here before. The old loft look and old model T’s give it a great flair for business networking events. I could even see a wedding here. Great service and plenty parking close.

AJ Fernandez

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this National Historic site of Henry Ford, the people, the cars, the suppliers, the investors, the pioneers, the way they lived, what it meant to the country on wheels. We got to ride in a Model A and view so many actual cars. There were 2 movies and a lunch wagon. We got in for free as a special announced tour, from our neighbor. Usually costs $10. Highly recommend.

Tony Kelley

A very good car museum with knowledgeable guides that will tell you lively stories on Henry Ford early days. Good souvenir shop,lots of photo object. Definitely worth a visit

This has been my favorite place that I’ve been to in Detroit. I am a Ford employee, so I could not wait to see the plant (you don’t need to be an employee to enjoy). I recommend doing a guided tour. Jerry was my tour guide and he was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the Piquette Avenue plant, the history of Ford, Edison, Huff, and the vehicles themselves. I was shocked to see how much of the plant is still original, and felt like I was taken back in time and could see Henry Ford challenging his employees to a foot race across the plant. We were also told about the many upcoming additions, and I can not wait to come back to see what changes. Ps. The $12 entrance fee in unbeatable and shocking in a good way(there also are deals on Groupon to make it even more inexpensive)

Anamul Islam

It was an amazing experience! The exhibits are unique and outstanding and the staff most helpful and friendly. I would especially thank Mr. Tom Genova who guides the tour with utmost professionalism and dedication yet emotionally stimulating. Special thanks to men and women who volunteered for years to get this place in shape. Great job everyone!

Arthur “Art Jr” Rimbold

Excellent display of early Fords in the factory where the Model T was conceived. Great staff an docent Tom. Wonderful deconstruction of one of the Ford cars to illustrate assembly process. Great parking. Really cool to stand where production actually happened. Great 15 min film informing museum patrons of Ford history. One may rent the museum for receptions, etcetera. Mega thanks to numerous people who have donated time, cars, and money to this museum and preserving such a large piece of our history.

Josh Light

Attended a wedding reception here. I must preface with the fact that I love museums and historical locations. This was a beautiful venue and you even have the opportunity to take photos in an old car. During your attendance at the reception. Only downside is that the second level does not have A/C however, given the nature of the age of the building it is expected. The 3rd level where the dining and dancing was held was air conditioned and allowed to cool off after the second level warmth.

Darrien Foster

Visit the birth place of the Model T and experience a piece of automotive history.

This is a must see for anyone interested in cars, history, Detroit, etc. I just happened upon this tour availability and I grew up in the area, I feel like I missed out by not experiencing it earlier! Super cool to learn about the Ford history and how the company Ford got it's humble beginnings in the Detroit area! The cars are all privately owned and all tour guides are knowledgeable volunteers. Each visit is a new experience since each tour guide puts on their own spin.

Michael Wiersma

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 :)

Rich Bihary

Just wow. This place is beautiful. We had our wedding here on March 7, 2020 and even though I planned every part of it, I could never have imagined how stunning the venue would look. It was *exactly* what I wanted. The history, the beautiful character of the building, the lights, the mood...all amazing. We worker with Jeff leading up to and on the day, I can't say enough good things about Jeff. He worked hard for us, answered my many questions, was responsive and there when I needed him. Jeff's personality worked well with mine, as he's much more calm than I am. It was easy to work with him and feel like it was all going to work out. I honestly cannot imagine my wedding anywhere else and if I ever had to plan one again (God please no), I would want it to be at the Piquette Plant with Jeff. Our guests LOVED the Piquette Plant, we heard several times that it was the most unique, beautiful venue they had ever visited. We ended up loving this place so much we visited many more times than necessary before the wedding just to take it all in. You will absolutely not regret having your wedding (or any event) here, it will be more beautiful than you can ever imagine.

Mary soeder

Make sure you tack a guided tour to fully grasp the historic significance of this plant.

Diane Jennings

I didn’t expect a guided tour which made the experience more memorable. You’re immersed in a museum that was the actual plant where the Model T was born.

Katherine Miller

The factory is not climate controlled, so consider the outdoor temperature when planning to visit. Guided tours are excellent, and there is elevator access to all floors. Highly recommended!!

That's where the Model T was assembled. The Ford Motor Company's first purpose-built factory. Previously space was rented on Mack Ave. Ford Models B, C, F, K, N, R, S, and T were assembled here. The Ford Model T was developed here, introduced in 1908 as a 1909 model. The first 12,000 Model Ts were assembled here and shipped out by railroad. Ford Motor Company relocated to its new Highland Park Plant in 1910, selling the Piquette building to Studebaker in 1911. Studebaker used it for automobile production until 1933. The building was occupied by Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company and Cadillac Overall Company until purchased by Heritage Investment Company in 1989. It was sold in 2000 to the Model-T Automotive Heritage Complex, Inc., (doing business as) the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant, that restored and now operates the historic site as a museum.

This is Henry Ford's first automotive factory. Your walking in the footsteps of where Detroit's auto history began. The model A through the first 12,000 model T's were produced here. It is an unbelievable sight to see. With admission, they offer daily tours that will walk you through everything, or you can take a self guided tour. Plan at least 3-4 hours to see everything. They have some remarkably rare vehicles, some you'll never see again. Extremely friendly staff eger to answer any questions you may have.

Wonderful chunk of forgotten history that should have NEVER been forgotten, the bits of history in the museum that I didn't know about were fascinating, most the cars were pristine, and nearly perfect, especially considering most if not all are over a hundred years old; not to mention the tour, the guide was so engaging, extremely knowledgeable, willing to answer any questions, and obviously loves his job, I don't know how I didn't know about this place sooner!

The great selection of old Ford's from the beginning through the middle T we're well worth the visit. Some of the cars hadn't been restored which was very educational. The tour guide was pleasant and knowledgeable.

Ma Matthis

This experience was amazing. Let me say, when we first walked in, I was prepared to be underwhelmed. The displays around the entry were fine, but nothing to get super excited about. That changed pretty quickly once we met our tour guide, Tom. This man had an encyclopedic knowledge of Ford Motor Company, Henry Ford, and the Piquette Avenue building as well. In addition to his knowledge, Tom was funny and engaging throughout the 1.5 hour tour. My only complaint would be that the tour wasn't 2.5 or 3 hours long. Tom's enthusiasm for the people, cars, and plant was genuinely infectious and I could've spent the whole day looking at cars (and I'm not really a "car guy.") Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone.

Jim Hajek

Cool place for rustic photo shoots, which is whi I was there on a recent corporate assignment. Taking one back to a better time in Detroit's industrial past. This location would be an exceptional location for a company looking for mixed use industrial/office complex. The facilities need extensive work as they have sat mostly empty for a long time but the walls and structure of the building appears to be solid. As with any mid-century factory setting natural light inside the facility is incredible! This building is truly a diamond in the rough, but expect and budget for renovations.

Stepping back to 1908 when the Model T was born in “the secret room” the minute you walk into the plant just like Henry left it worn, untouched even with a paint brush. Amazing presenters that walk you through the “Alphabet cars” right to the T. Well worth your time to step back in time.

What a fantastic day-trip we had visiting the Ford Piquette Ave. Plant. So happy we got tickets to the tour as it was so informative! Tom was our guide and he obviously knew this place inside & out, and I can't recommend this tour enough. …

Katilyn Kohl

If you are in Detroit and looking at learning about the history, stop in at the Ford Piquette Plant! We enjoyed our time here, getting a storied and interesting tour from Greg. (Detroit History Tours also offers a guided audio tour if you prefer a solo experience). We absolutely loved it, and will be recommending it to anyone visiting.

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?

Craig Olson

We were there for wedding and reception in very late November. The best venue I have ever attended for this type of event. History, character, space, ambiance...really has it all. Cold day, It was in the 20's outside and snowing...a bit …

Francis Orr

Very cool place for a wedding reception. Was able to see many of the historical cars and learn about Henry Ford.

CHRISTOPHER BLACK

The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant offers a thorough education on the history of mass production cars and commerical vehicles. The various Model Ts are impressive but so are all of their predecessors and contemporary competitors from the era. The descriptions were excellent.

leszek kula

The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant is a must visit if you are in Detroit. It is located about 3 miles from the Tigers Comerica Park. Plan to spend about 2-3 hours here. Tickets are $12 for an adult and there is a 30 minute movie and a guided tour available several times a day. Nearly all cars on display are fully operational. Most leak oil or fluid and can be seen with a pan underneath to collect the runoff.

dominique L

I had a great time. Place is full of history. Tour guides are very knowledgeable.

Gary Patrick

Very cool and interesting

Jose Antonio Del Solar

The tour guide, Tom, led one of the best tours I have ever received. He had so much to say about each of the cars he showed the group and memorized so much of the information about the vehicles. It was clear that he was very passionate about his job and loved working there. The tour guide may have been great, but that doesn’t mean that the cars don’t deserve any recognition. The selection of cars at the plant were fantastic. There wasn’t just one of every car ever manufactured in the plant, but there were also cars made by Ford competitors like Oldsmobile at the same time! All in all, the tour was great and incredibly informative.

brandon stuart

True early Detroit history. Excellent preserved early vehicles with knowledgeable staff giving tours. To truly appreciate the Detroit auto industry this is one of the places you must see.

I love this place. Our real life superheroes that changed the world. Walked on these floors & continually reinvented the Automobile

Todd Brewer

Donated sixteen bikes to bikes for kids which is located next to the museum. They could use some help repairing and prepping over a thousand bikes yet.They already done over fifteen hundred.

Karen Bailey

GO! Go now! Plan a trip around it! If you are a Ford fan in any sense, and especially of the Model T or interested in Henry, just go! The people here are amazing, Tom and Jerry the guides, were extremely knowledgeable. They shared and answered so many questions. The building is in great shape because of the organizations efforts and I applaud them for everything that they have done and are doing. I will be visiting again in another couple years to see what kind of progress they have made on the building.

Paul Kurkowski

What a beautiful place to host an event!
