Motorcities Celebrates the 9th Annual Michigan Auto Heritage Day on Wednesday, November 30, 2022

MotorCities National Heritage Area is teaming up with Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the co-chairs of the Michigan Legislative Auto Caucus, Senators Wayne Schmidt and Mallory McMorrow and Representative James Tate, to declare Wednesday, November 30 as the 9th annual Michigan Auto Heritage Day throughout the state.

Michigan Automotive Heritage Day began in 2014 and has become an annual opportunity to celebrate the story that can only be told in Michigan: how this area "Put The World On Wheels." Our state has the largest concentration of auto-related sites, attractions, and events in the world, attracting millions of visitors each year.
