Libraries: Preserving the Past, Educating the Present
Guided Tour
In conjunction with OLLI's lecture series, The Library - Civilization's Treasure House of Knowledge, Bespoke Travel and Experiences gives OLLI members VIP tours of two renowned libraries: the Benson Ford Research Center at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn and the main branch of the Detroit Public Library on Woodward. We will begin with a guided tour of the Benson Ford and its special collection, which includes precious artifacts and belongings of American presidents and Henry Ford himself. After lunch at the historic Dearborn Inn, we will travel to Detroit for a guided tour of the Detroit Public Library. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 1920s building is not just a library but an architectural treasure containing special works of art. This tour for adults over 50 will involve light walking and some stairs (elevators available). The cost $128.00 includes lunch, snacks and tips.
