The Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber is excited to host the next Culture Club event at the Birmingham Museum. Join us for tours from 4-5 p.m. and for a social hour afterwards at a local restaurant (location TBA).
Join the Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber for a tour of the Birmingham Museum. Guests will be invited to tour both the John West Hunter House (1822) and the Allen House (1928). These historic structures are linked by a public plaza, the gateway to the grounds, which were dedicated in 2007 as the John West Hunter Historic Park.
The landscape includes some of the most complex and diverse topography, including a spring fed pond and connection to the Rouge River corridor, all just a short walk from downtown Birmingham. The Allen House features changing exhibits about Birmingham and its heritage, while the Hunter House (also listed on the National Register of Historic Places) reflects 19th century pioneer life in the settlement.
Tour highlights include:
- Experience the Oldest House in Oakland County: The John West Hunter House
- Circa 1976 Creem Magazine Office and Reading Room
- Step Into a 1920s/1930s Kitchen
- 1927 Barnum School Storybook Fireplace
