June 29 2026 Is it too hot today afternoon for a bonfire? Not in my world. Maybe kayaking is a better idea. Tomorrow. It's supposed to be 99 F. Somewhere i can get out of the kayak and swim. So not the Rouge. I think i know where I'll go. Awesome location. 👌

This YouTube is video is f%&@ amazing.

The Detroit Historical Society’s overflow warehouse is the Collections Resource Center, a massive 75,000-square-foot, three-wing facility located at Historic Fort Wayne. While the public does not have open-door access, the society periodically hosts exclusive, ticketed behind-the-scenes tours.

• The Collection: It houses the majority of the society’s 250,000+ surplus artifacts that aren't on display at the Detroit Historical Museum.
• The "Bubble Cars": The largest wing is a WWII-era space used for iconic Detroit-connected cars. Many are stored in airtight, plastic climate-controlled bubbles to prevent aging. Highlights include the ultra-rare 1935 Stout Scarab prototype minivan and Mayor Coleman Young’s bulletproof limousine.
• Quirky Artifacts: Aside from the cars, the space is packed with the clockworks from old City Hall, Herman Kiefer Hospital iron lungs, Macy's department store decorations (like Santa’s chair), relics from Boblo Island, and letters removed from the top of Tiger Stadium.

While it operates primarily as a storage and research facility, the society offers public access via guided tours, such as their specialized Car Storage Tours led by automotive curators.
