Birthplace of Antoine Laumet de Lamothe-Cadillac, known in the United States as the founder of the city of Detroit

Antoine Laumet de Lamothe-Cadillac, born in 1658 in Saint-Nicolas-de-la-Grave, is known in the United States as the founder of the city of Detroit. The house where he was born has been transformed into a museum that perpetuates the forgotten memory of this Gascon "scrap metal worker" and adventurer. The name Cadillac is known throughout the world, since it was taken up by Henry Martin Leland when he founded his famous car company in Detroit in 1902, in homage to the founder of the city two centuries earlier.

Petit musée sans prétention mais qui veut nous faire découvrir la vie aventureuse et mouvementée du plus célèbre des Nicolaïtes.
Il se situe dans la maison natale de François Laumet de Lamothe Cadillac.
Fait exceptionnel, ce musée est gratuit, il suffit de s'adresser à l'office de tourisme et une personne vous accompagnera pour une visite commentée.
