Pewabic Pottery

Pewabic Pottery is a living treasure and offers visitors an exciting glimpse of a little known part of American history. Founded in 1903 during the Arts & Crafts Movement, Pewabic is nationally renowned for its tile and pottery in unique glazes. Today it is a non profit ceramic art education center which welcomes 70,000 visitors annually.

Ossian Sweet House

The home of black physician Ossian Sweet on Detroit's eastside was the site of racial incident in the 1925 which resulted in a nationally publicized murder trial. On the National Register of Historic Places, the Ossian Sweet House is one of the "ordinary" places in the extraordinary history of American race relations.
