FLINT AND THE AMERICAN DREAM
Flint’s dramatic history as the birthplace of General Motors comes to life at the Alfred P. Sloan Museum. Flint and the American Dream takes visitors on a fascinating journey through Flint in the 20th century - from the birth of the auto industry to the present. Here visitors encounter the ups and downs of General Motors, the birth of the UAW, Flint’s role as the “Arsenal of Democracy” and what life was like during the 50s, 60s and 70s. The gallery is packed with over 600 artifacts and photographs, including rare antique automobiles, colorful neon signs, period clothing, household furnishings and commercial goods.

Halfway Cafe
The Halfway Cafe, Sloan Museum’s 1950s style lunchroom, is located at the midpoint of the museum. This area allows visitors to sit down, enjoy a snack and a cold drink from our vending machines, before continuing their museum tour.
