- Abraham Lincoln Bust @ UAW-Ford National Programs Center in Hart Plaza:151 W Jefferson Ave
- Ulysses Grant House @ Eastern Market: 1850 Erskine St

The Detroit Institute of Arts has several presidential pieces in its collection. Take a tour through the museum and see how many you can find! Admission to the DIA is FREE for residents of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.
Head next door to The Wright Museum of African American History and you’ll spot Barack Obama in the welcome video to the And Still We Rise Exhibit and you’ll spot several presidents pictured in the Voting Exhibit.
Looking for a place to eat? You can find Barack Obama’s picture at Jolly Pumpkin – and delicious pizza!
President Gerald Ford was from Grand Rapids and if you’re up for a road trip, pay a visit to the Ford Presidential Library.
