Beginning with an introduction at the Charles Lang Freer House, this tour will provide you with much information about the beautiful homes that line Ferry Street. In the mid-1880s, D.M. Ferry began subdividing the farm 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 had 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!
