Wayside Exhibits

The MotorCities National Heritage Area is an affiliate of the National Park Service. It is dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and promoting the automotive heritage of Michigan.

The programs and activities of the MotorCities National Heritage Area are designed to increase tourism throughout the State of Michigan. This is achieved by developing and distributing educational and informational programs that tell the story of the American automobile and labor industry.

“National Heritage Areas are places where historic, cultural, and natural resources combine to form cohesive, nationally important landscapes.  Unlike national parks, National Heritage Areas are large lived-in landscapes. Consequently, National Heritage Areas entities collaborate with communities to determine how to make heritage relevant to local interests and needs.” (nps.gov, 2021).

The “Wayside Exhibits” is a project of MotorCities National Heritage Area.  With a grant from Michigan Department of Transportation, the exhibits have been placed throughout southeast Michigan where there is interest in telling local automotive heritage stories.

The exhibits are like book jackets or movie trailers that pique your interest in historical subjects.  They also have a sense of whimsy about them. Each exhibit displays off-beat facts that are presented as “You Auto Know”.
