William L. Clements Library, Ann Arbor

Special Friday Tour!

The Clements, opened in 1923 on the campus of the University of Michigan, is a unique resource for students, faculty and researchers.  The library houses rare books, pamphlets, maps, prints, photographs and manuscripts that shed light on North American history from Columbus through the 19th century.  On almost any aspect of the early American experience - military history, politics and government, religion, gender and ethnicity, culinary history, the creative arts, travel and exploration - the holdings at Clements are among the best in the world.

Tickets are $20 for Detroit Historical Society members and $30 for guests.
