BTS - Ferry Street Walking Tour
This event is no longer on sale.
Special Thursday evening tour!
This tour will give you insight and information about the beautiful homes that line Ferry Street. In the mid-1880s, D.M. Ferry began subdividing the farm that he had established near the corner of East Ferry and Woodward to grow seeds that were sold across the nation. The plots were sold to prosperous Detroit industrialists and businesses that made their money in the emerging metropolis of Detroit. Many of them built exceptionally attractive, large mansions along East Ferry, the homes that you see today. Learn more about more than a century of activity that has touched these historic homes!
