Lansing

Michigan’s Capital City offers a rich automotive heritage as the birthplace of Oldsmobile and the home of the two newest General Motors plants in the world. 

Your stop in the Capital City region is located right off historic 27 in the charming City of DeWitt.  You’ll arrive in the Lansing region around 4:00 p.m. and have time to hang up your sunglasses and comb your windblown hair from the day’s drive.  There’s even time to take in a few of the sights and shops in the region including the RE Olds Museum, Old Town, Michigan Historical Museum and much more.  Check out www.lansing.org for further information or call 800-252-6746. 

 

The R.E. Olds Museum is offering extended hours for Motor Tour participants until 6:30 p.m.  The Museum features rare vehicles like REO, Star, Durant, and Viking to classic Oldsmobiles, buggies, bicycles, trucks and engines.  See why the Museum is rated as one of “the Ten Best Automobile Museums in the United States” exhibiting a small collection, by Car Collector Magazine.
