History of the Ford Piquette Plant

The Ford Piquette Plant was built in 1904 by Henry Ford and his partners, Alexander Malcomson and John W. Anderson. It was originally used as an automobile production facility and was home to the first Model T Fords ever produced. The plant operated until 1910 when production moved to a larger facility in Highland Park, Michigan. Today, the plant is a National Historic Landmark and serves as a museum dedicated to preserving the history of automotive manufacturing in Detroit.
