Course Detail: 39NEIGHBORHOODS - 39 Detroit Neighborhoods: Wonderful Pieces of the City - ADDED DAY TRIP

Detroit has over 200 unique and distinct neighborhoods. Each has a compelling history, and each has its own stories and history. Trying to make it to each one in a day is quite the challenge, even for Detroit History Tours! But what if we could take you on an in depth dive into three? And what if using those three neighborhoods we could weave the complicated history of our city and show you the sights and sounds of Detroit?Join Detroit History tours as we explore three of Detroit's Iconic Neighborhoods. We'll discuss the rise, fall, and rise again of Historic Corktown and look at how immigration has helped shape our city. In Milwaukee Junction we will explore the industrialization of Detroit, the Great Migration and the changing face of industry in Detroit. Additionally, we'll explore the founding of the city, war and destruction in the 19th century and the boom and bust cycle of the Detroit economy through history. Finally, we'll explore a city within a city, Hamtramck, that is the size of a neighborhood, but is an independent city surrounded by Detroit. This trip includes motor coach transportation from SVSU, neighborhoods tour, and lunch.
