Instructor: Greg Kowalski

This class will uncover the fascinating history of a massive auto plant located in Hamtramck, Michigan. When John and Horace Dodge began building this factory, they could not have imagined the incredible impact it would have on Hamtramck. The factory became known as Dodge Main, and as one of the largest factories in the world, created an amazing city before it turned to rubble. As such, Dodge Main epitomizes the rise and fall of auto manufacturing in the Motor City.

A journalist for more than 40 years he also has written 13 local history books, including Detroit Art Deco. He is a lifelong resident of Hamtramck.
