Ann ArborThe city of Ann Arbor in southeast Michigan, 45 miles (72km)
west of Detroit just north of the Ohio border, is home to the
University of Michigan, one of the country's top universities. The
city and surroundings has a great deal to offer visitors in the
form of historic and cultural attractions. Ann Arbor's downtown
area is extremely vibrant with never a dull moment, from live music
shows to a plethora of libraries, galleries and museums,
restaurants offering everything from romantic dinners to café
society, some of the country's best bookstores and often a street
party. Among the many museums of interest is the Ann Arbor Hands-On
Museum, housed in a 100-year-old firehouse, which features more
than 250 interactive science and technology exhibits. There are
numerous restored 19th-century houses and farms to visit for a
taste of life in days of yore, and even an original old main street
blacksmith shop still operating in the satellite town of
Manchester. Museums in the area cover ev Address: Ann Arbor Convention and Visitors Bureau: 120 West Huro Website: www.annarbor.org Email: info@annarbor.org Telephone: (734) 995 7281 |
