In Oakland County

Where you can trace the paths of glaciers from 10,000 years ago; explore early hamlets that time forgot; walk the trails Native Americans created 3000 years ago; horseback into Main Street centers; visit the magnificent mansions of the roaring 20’s; experience Mid-Century Modern and Doo Wop architecture of the originators; cruise with the muscle cars; catch an organic meal in a ‘green building’; and much more.

It’s our history, and we’re not through making it.

Mission: To promote the preservation of Oakland County's historical and cultural resources through the preparation and distribution of information and products that encourage sustainable economic growth, development and redevelopment.
