The 26 Best Things Made in Michigan’s Cities | Eater

"For a look at some really cool stuff made in Michigan, head to the Grand Rapids Public Museum. On first glance a collection of 1,500 carpet sweepers might not seem thrilling, but then you learn that they were invented in Grand Rapids in 1876 by Melville Bissell (recognize the name?), and that his wife Anna became one of America’s first female CEOs of an international company. Or, delve into why Grand Rapids was nicknamed “Furniture City” with the Furniture Industry Archives Collection. The permanent exhibit Anishinabek: The People of This Place tells the story of the Ottawa, Potawatomi, and Chippewa people of West Michigan in their own voices, while Newcomers: The People of This Place looks at the immigrant groups that made Grand Rapids—and the United States—what it is today." - Vox Creative
