Ford Gallery of Ann Arbor Founders

Who are the people who made Ann Arbor the city we all know and love? The Michigan Theater is proud to celebrate those individuals and groups that have helped create the character of our town. From the earliest pioneers to twentieth-century philanthropists, here are the stories of businessmen and women, visionaries and artists, educators and entrepreneurs, doctors, ministers, and mayors. The Ford Gallery of Ann Arbor Founders exhibit has been made possible by a generous gift from Ford Motor Company Fund with the assistance of the University of Michigan Bentley Historical Library.
