Back at the Lorenzo Cultural Center (on the Macomb Community College main campus) for the first time in several years. They are known for mounting fabulous exhibitions around a Michigan theme and offering a series of programs covering topics relating to the exhibition. Currently the Creative Michigan: Making the Mitten Modern exhibition is running through April 29. Each week there are several programs scheduled. Most of the speakers are local historians or educators, all well-versed in the subject they are presenting. Free admission for all. Registration (online) requested for the programs. Free parking in an adjacent lot. With all that, you can't go wrong in attending one or more programs each week. Check their website for current offerings.

I love the special exhibits they have here. They take you through important eras of American history. They are generally Feb -April each year.

This building was originally the Student Union and an office building for Macomb Community College. When they built a new, larger Student Union because of a growing student enrollment, they converted this building into a museum type of facility They chose to rotate the displays to cover various subjects of interest to the community rather than having fixed displays that are always the same as in typical museums. It is large enough to provide very interesting displays. Topics as varied as The Roaring 20s, auto manufacturers or World War II and its impact on Macomb County are rotated every few months.
Because of the rotating displays, you could visit every few months and always see something new. The building is connected to the Macomb Center and so it is a good place to visit before or after seeing a show.

While on my lunch break I decided to check out the recent exhibits "The 70s". They offer informative lectures, short films, musuem style displays and the best part--it's all free. The facility is well lit, spacious and has wonderful, clean restrooms.

Lots to see and do. Great for the entire family. Very educational and named after a great man. The area is one of the best in Macomb County. After a visit stop in at one of the wonderful restaurants on Hall Road or Garfield.

I've attended numerous exhibits at the Albert L Lorenzo Cultural Center, and I've never been disappointed. They do a fantastic job of curating interesting and relevant exhibits, and by the way, admission is FREE! Can't beat that, especially when I want to drag my teen and tween boys along, I mean expose them to meaningful culture in a non-academic setting ;)
Lectures available too, although this reviewer tends to shy away from activities that involve sticking one's backside in a chair for a pre-determined length (usually too long) of time.

There are so many options...my grand daughter and I enjoyed Haunted Macomb County and Diversity and Inclusion. My mom and I will attend Selfridge ANG History as well as Songs, Stories and Dances. My friends and I are looking forward to Indian History, Journey to Paradise and Hisory of Clinton Metroparks--like I said, something for everyone. We have also enjoyed lunch/dinner at the Center Stage Restuarant which is located in the Lorenzo Cultural Centers Building

I recommend investigating the Lorenzo Cultural Center’s variety of offerings both during the week and, during other times of the year on weekends. Today we attended a fascinating lecture by Macomb Community College Professor, Elton Weintz. He tracked History and his knowledge of the US President’s is extraordinary. His delivery was loud enough to be heard without microphone and clear enough to easily understand. He set the film up within its epoch. Helped his audience understand that time period and it’s influences on the characters. Because of him, my companion and I gained better insight into not only the main character but those whose actions influenced his, and ultimately our own course in that historical time period.
The film was excellent. I guess someone mildly complained about the “colorful language”, however it’s usage was entirely historically accurate from outside readings I have done.
Be prepared to spend a couple hours (or more) on outings like this. We even got an intermission! It wasn’t for really little kids, but young people could gain perspective from attending presentations such as these.
