Early automobile models B, C, F, K, N, R, and S were all built at the Piquette Plant. Some of the first women to work in the auto industry fabricated magneto parts at the Piquette Plant. They were referred to as the “Magneto Girls.” -How the Plant Was Saved: After many decades, the old factory fell into disrepair and was slated for demolition. However, in the year 2000, a small group of dedicated citizens from the Henry Ford Heritage Association and community activists banded together and purchased the building. Restoration of the plant is being done through volunteers. The Window Team, one of the volunteer groups, has rebuilt by hand more than 290 of the original 355 windows. The replacement glass was donated by Guardian Industries. -A National Historic Landmark Today, the Piquette Plant is a museum and learning center. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006. It is also a City, State and Federal Historic site. It has been registered as a National Heritage Site. Ford Piquette Plant is owned and operated by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Model T Automotive Heritage Complex Inc. and is not affiliated or funded by the Ford Motor Company.
