It’s back to school time at Cranbrook Institute. We will start our day with a lecture and conversation about the history of Cranbrook, (but there won’t be a quiz!). After a catered lunch, there will be the option of taking either a guided Museums Tour (Groups A & B) that consists of both the Art Museum and Institute of Science or a Historic Houses Tour (Groups C & D) that includes both the Saarinen House and Frank Lloyd Wright Smith House.

Special Notes for Visitors to the Historic Houses. (Groups C & D)
>> There will be a one-time, 7-10 minute walk either from the Art Museum to the Saarinen House (Group C) or from the Saarinen House to the Art Museum (Group D).
>> The houses have no air conditioning and can be extremely warm so dress accordingly. Tour will take place rain or shine.
>> Many rooms and passageways are very narrow; therefore, the houses are not wheelchair accessible.
>> All tours are walking tours, and guests must be able to walk and stand throughout most of the tour. There are no places to sit down in the Saarinen House, and limited seating is available in the Smith House.

Boarding will begin at 8:00am to ensure a prompt departure at 8:30am Please call Lisa Barton ((734) 998-9356) with any questions or concerns about participating. No refunds without replacements inside 30 days of trip departure.
