This is still one of my favorite places in Port Huron, and I love sharing it with people. This is…read moreone of those places that is in plain sight, but most have not visited or really knew what it was. My most recent visit was a rainy day, but this place was still busy. Plenty of people sitting inside visiting and enjoying lunch or a cup of coffee. There was a nice farmers market this weekend that had lots of goodies. Anyone I have referred this place to ends up loving it!

If you haven't been here, it's worth the visit. This visitor's center is a volunteer-run…read moreestablishment (mostly staffed by endearing, charming elderly folks) for visitors to watch and learn about the boats and freighters that go by. Also, they have literature on Port Huron history and artifacts found from the bottom of the river. It's quite an inviting center with many great amenities: free Wi-Fi, large observation area, knowledgeable staff, clean restrooms and a deli that sells huge, scrumptious apple fritters as big as your face. I recommend zapping the fritter in mic for 20-30 seconds. It's even better with a hot cup of coffee, as you relax and enjoy the view of the beautiful river, seabirds flying by, and freighters passing under the Blue Water Bridge. The staff generally announces over the PA which freighter is passing by and fun facts (where it's made, how old, tonnage, etc.). The river walk is popular for fishers, walkers and their dogs. They even have seasonal scheduled events with musical guests and vendors for farmer's market. So if you're looking for a relaxed short road trip outing, this is a keen place. It seems that mostly seniors loiter around. Maybe that's why my retired folks really liked it when they were last in town? But there's also a mix of young families and couples too.

The staff were wonderfully friendly and helpful; even though we arrived near closing after a long trip, they encouraged us to take our time and enjoy it thoroughly. The location is perfect, nestled right under the Blue Water Bridge. I especially loved the authentic train car from the same era when young Edison was conducting his experiments on the train. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I was fortunate to have an unexpected private tour by the Keeper. The Keeper was charming,…read moreinteresting, knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. I had no idea that Thomas Edison was an inventor of many things. He had about 1,000 patents. In grammar school, I learned he was the inventor of the incandescent light bulb but little did I know that Thomas Edison invented the telegraph, storage batteries, phonograph and even the motion picture projector. There's so much to see jam packed in this small hands-on/interactive museum. There are many interesting facts about his personal life and how some of these inventions/patents came about. It's a perfect opportunity for anyone to study history of inventions and the life of Thomas Edison. Signage is easy to read and understand. It's truly a gem.

During the holidays, it's a good spot to find home and garden gifts of every price point for people who have everything AND great taste. Even the fresh and packaged foods remind me of the Bay Area. Friendly staff. New setting in the City Flats Hotel is large and charming. Surprised to discover parking in the rear. I like the steady hours. I like that the owner is often present. I like that I feel appreciated as a customer.

As a lifelong Barbie fan and collector, I was thrilled to explore the creative and alternative…read moreBarbies I had never encountered before. The displays showcased styles ranging from modern to eclectic, making this collection truly sensational. I felt both impressed and overwhelmed, just like any little girl or grown woman would be with such important memorabilia. To my delight, my very first Barbie was included in this hidden gem of a collection! After this amazing experience, I ventured upstairs to the music room, where I admired the early instruments this town has preserved. It's fascinating to learn how these artifacts contributed to the town's history, alongside chicory--a coffee substitute--historically significant due to a shipwreck that involved 273 passengers. This wreck was attributed to a treacherous storm on the Great Lakes. Additionally, I've always wanted to know the names of the moving parts on Port Huron's Abt Bascule Bridge, and I was pleased to find those answers provided on a diagram. Unfortunately, I ran out of time in the music room and didn't get to finish my tour, but I am definitely planning to return for another lesson in this town's rich history!

The few scattered exhibits that were there included some local art and artifacts (notably an actual iron lung). A handful of brochures gave some information on the area, but it was not the most detailed or the most useful museum I've ever seen. There seemed to be some interesting artifacts in the boxes that were strewn around the basement, and perhaps the museum has better days ahead.
