WE ENGAGE COMMUNITIES ON A LEARNING JOURNEY IN HISTORY AND SCIENCE

History Gallery

The re-imagined Flint history gallery features inclusive stories, designed with the flexibility to frequently change displays that span from the earliest inhabitants through history-in-the-making. The gallery includes interactive stepping stones that activate a video or audio story told from local residents; a section about Genesee County's contributions to winning WWII, including an actual 1943 Hellcat Tank Destroyer; an interactive trading post and real native American artifacts; Flint's storied lumbering history; the last Buick LeSabre that rolled off the former Buick City's assembly line signed by the hundreds of workers who helped build it; popular culture artifacts like the beloved Bozo The Clown original costume and the basketball costume Will Ferrell wore in the Flint-based movie Semi-pro; Flint's history on redlining and blockbusting; and much more!
