Detroit Historical Museum - Hudson's Holidays Exhibit

I belong to Facebook's J.L. Hudson's Department Store group, and recently read that the Detroit Historical Museum put together an exhibit titled Hudson's Holidays open through December, with a "Free Sundays" promotion. 

Today was a beautiful clear day with a high of 41 degrees, and the last day to take advantage of "Free Sundays", so after church Jerry and I drove to Detroit to see the exhibit.

The exhibit was spread out between the lower level, and levels one and two.  The lower level was "The Early Years."  I took many pictures, but will only share some of them in this post. The portrait below is J.L. Hudson, the store's founder.

Level One featured Hudson's Toyland and an original horse drawn delivery carriage.

Level Two was my favorite because it featured Dining at Hudson's and Fashions - the two areas I've focused on in my research.

I don't have a large collection of Hudson memorabilia, but it was fun to see the pieces I do have shown in the display.

So glad I got to attend this exhibit!
