Explore Art and Culture in Detroit!

Join the Richland Area Community Center as we adventure to the exquisitely opulent estate of Edsel and Eleanor Ford in Grosse Pointe and the spectacular Detroit Institute of Arts!
Detroit, is a vibrant city brimming with culture, history, and innovation. Known as the Motor City, it offers visitors a unique blend of iconic architecture, world-class museums, and an expansive food scene.
Meet at the RACC at 7:00 am, where you will enjoy delicious baked goods, fresh fruit, coffee or tea before we take off at 7:45 am sharp! The trip is $150 and includes a delicious lunch at the Ford Estate.
For our first stop, our group will experience the historic family home of Edsel Ford, the only son of Henry Ford, and his wife, Eleanor. The estate is located on 87 sprawling acres with beautiful grounds and gardens on the shore of Lake St. Clair in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan, north of Detroit. We will split into groups to tour the main residence, a 30,000 sq. ft mansion at this National Historic Landmark location. There is no elevator, so those with mobility issues may not be able to take the stairs to the second floor.
Lunch will be provided after our tour, and will include a hot buffet of: salad, rolls, buttery silk potatoes, seasonal vegetable, chicken parmesan with a lemon sauce, and dessert. Please indicate below if you have any dietary restrictions or need a vegetarian option.
After lunch, we will depart to the Detroit Institute of Arts. The DIA is one of the country’s premier art museums, know
n for its extensive collection that spans over 5,000 years of human creativity. Its striking architecture, including a grand neoclassical exterior and elegant interior spaces, enhances the overall experience. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or a casual visitor, you will be able to walk through at your own pace and witness an inspiring journey through history, culture, and creativity at the DIA.
After a couple hours of exploring the DIA, we will venture to Cannelle, a popular and beloved French bakery. Cannelle has earned a reputation for offering some of the best baked goods in the region. The bakery specializes in a range of traditional French pastries, including croissants, tarts, éclairs, and macarons, all made with high-quality ingredients and expert craftsmanship. Take time to purchase the goodies of your liking and after, we will depart back to the Richland Area Community Center, to arrive by 8:30 PM.
Must be 16 or older to attend this trip. This tour will require walking and climbing stairs. Registration and payment due by April 19. You may register and pay in person at the RACC during open hours.

WESTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

Get ready to enjoy a performance by the members of OLLI at WMU Senior Reader’s Theater on Wed., May 14th at 1-3 pm. OLLI at WMU is short for Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Western Michigan University, an organization for people 50 and better, where age is embraced, and wisdom is celebrated.

The plays address both the humorous and dramatic aspects of what it means
to grow older. The talented ensemble strives to bring laughter and thought-
provoking moments to the stage to remind everyone that, in the tapestry of
life, none of us is alone. Join us as we explore the challenges and
camaraderie that comes with age, weaving tales that not only entertain but
also unite us in the understanding that our stories are intertwined.

This is a FREE event geared toward older adults (no children). Please call 269-629-9430 to rsvp or register online at richlandareacc.org, so we’ll know how many chairs to set up. There will be a talkback and discussion after the two performances.
