Did you ever wonder what is contained within The Museum Bronze in Auburn Hills?

I visited this most unusual museum with the Men's Club from my church and was amazed by its content. It has a collection of more than 200 hand-made models that demonstrate both the precision building of machinery for mass production and its historical impact of the Industrial Revolution. It is an interactive and educational experience for all ages. The The Reid Family Foundation owner's representatives say that it is a must-see collection for history enthusiasts and automotive lovers alike and that it is the American Dream on display. A few examples of the models they have on display are  "The Kitty Hawk," "The Edmund Fitzgerald" and "The Stanley Steamer." To learn more, go to:            www.museum-bronze.com. I highly recommend that all schools consider a visit to this most unusual Museum.

 

It is a small museum that can handle groups of only 30 students or adults at a time.

To schedule a visit for your group, you may call 248-852-8764 or call the Museum Director, Sheri Reid Grant, at 248-766-3738. Ms. Grant said that, "We recently hooked up with the Walter P. Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills with a small display over the Holidays and plan to eventually have a permanent display there as well."

The Museum Bronze is generally open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday – Friday, but don't just drop by. Always call first to be sure someone will be there to assist you. If your group does schedule a visit, not only will a Museum representative be available to answer questions during your tour, but they will later take you into the back room for further discussions and a Question & Answer session. The entire experience is well worth your time.
