PIQUETTE PLANT
Let the Ford Avenue Piquette Plant provide your event with a timeless backdrop—an urban industrial setting steeped in the past where guests can walk the same floors a young Henry Ford walked, sit in the driver’s seat of a Model T, and mingle where an invention that would forever change the world was born. It’s a setting that is signature Detroit and can be found nowhere else. The Piquette Plant can provide for weddings, non-profit events, social and corporate parties, bar mitzvahs and location shoots.

Employee recognition events, non-profit fundraising events, even corporate holiday parties are just some of the functions that are hosted at the GM Heritage Center.
