Maritime history buffs will love learning about Wyandotte’s shipbuilding era that lasted from 1870-1923. The phrase ‘Wyandotte built’ was proudly used to describe the city that was a leading innovator at the time. Many of the cutting edge technology techniques used to build Great Lakes freighters would become industry standards. 

And Wyandotte is proud to claim Lucille Ball as one of its most famous residents. While she was born in Jamestown, NY, her family relocated to Wyandotte when she was just one year old so that her father could take a job with Bell Telephone Company.
