The Rouge Factory is a pioneering industrial complex transformed into a showcase for modern manufacturing and sustainable design. Join fellow PBK members for a walking tour of the Rouge where we will learn about its history, view the state-of-the-art assembly line for F-150 trucks, experience virtual reality theater, and see one of the largest living roofs in the world. Docents will include Susan Bristol, member of the Greater Detroit Association PBK.

 

After the tour, we will gather for lunch and conversation at Plum Market Café inside The Henry Ford.
