Detroit Historical Museum - 55 Hours of Free Admission This Weekend
While browsing the PATCH website, I clicked on an advertisement for the Detroit Historical Museum. I'm glad I did. Just in case you didn't "click" , I copied the information below.

Thanks, Marcia! I attended the museum's "Friends and Family" celebration last week, and you'll be glad to know that the always-popular lower-level "streets of Detroit" are as charming as ever. Congratulations to the volunteers and staff of the Detroit Historical Museum, (including my brother!).
On-site parking is typically available. New exhibits are marvelous, and I think people of all ages will enjoy them. Thanks for sharing this announcement.
