DETROIT HISTORICAL MUSEUM, 5401
Woodward Ave. A new permanent exhibit, "Frontiers to
Factories: Detroiters at Work, 1701-1901," highlights 50
different cenrury-old businesses still in existence in Detroit,
eight of which were started by Jews. Among them are the
Butzel Long law firm (as in Tamarack Camps' Butzel
Center) and Albert Kahn Inc., the famous architectural
firm.
The exhibit presents interactive videos about eight differ-
ent immigrant groups from the 19th century, one of which
features Jewish shop owner Abba Keiden.
You'll want to see the museum's wonderful re-creation of
the "Streets of Old Detroit" while you're there, too, so allow
two hours minimum for your visit.
Hours: 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Wed.-Fri.; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sun.
