Wayne County, Michigan
Detroit, the Motor City, sits at the heart of Wayne County in southeast Michigan. This urban powerhouse stretches from the Detroit River to the western suburbs. Motown’s roots run deep here, alongside a rich automotive history that shaped America.
The county’s not all concrete jungle though because you’ll find surprising green spaces. For example, there’s Belle Isle, a 2.5-mile-long 982-acre island park in the Detroit River.
What else? Sports fans can catch the Tigers, Lions, Red Wings, or Pistons in action. The Detroit Institute of Arts houses world-class collections. Finally, Dearborn is home to the Henry Ford Museum, celebrating innovation and the American automotive spirit.
