The Detroit Children's Museum was originally opened in 1917 to help educate the children with arts & culture. The Detroit Children's Museum was closed in 2009 to help trim the budget for Detroit Public Schools who have been running the museum since 1925.

Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History-

The Museum of African American History or otherwise known as the MAAH was first started in 1965 by Dr. Wright first known as IAM or International Afro-American Museum. Over the next few decades the city of Detroit decided to give the museum land that was 5 times the museums space. Many members of the community worked together to raise the funding for the new building, and the ground was broken in 1985 just 20 years later.

Now the facility provided educational classes, exhibits, and motivational workshops for all who wish to learn about African American history. To learn more on this great place of history visit www.maah-detroit.org
