Detroit in the Gilded Age:
Break the Bank with the Detroit Historical Society

 

At the State Savings Bank, 151 W. Fort St., Detroit

Saturday, January 18, 2020 

Step back into the Gilded Age of Detroit — filled with railroad tycoons, lumber barons and industry innovators who were shaping the city and moving it forward — the Detroit Historical Society Ball and After-Party are its biggest fundraisers of the year! This event will support our key educational initiatives in 2020, including the re-imagining of the Detroit Historical Museum’s cornerstone educational exhibit, Frontiers to Factories.
