ANN ARBOR -- Long regarded as one of the freest-thinking college towns in the U.S., Ann Arbor is home to the University of Michigan, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Domino's Pizza. While you're in Ann Arbor, be certain to see the city's many fascinating historic buildings (including the Gothic-style Law Quadrangle at the university and the restored and refurnished Greek Revival Kempf House); the Kelsey Museum of Ancient and Medieval Archaeology; and Kerrytown (a diversity of specialty shops and eateries in restored 19th-century buildings close to the Farmers Market). We recommend at least a day in Ann Arbor. Amid the noteworthy events on Ann Arbor's calendar are the Summer Festival of the Performing Arts (mime, dance, theater, music, lectures, films and exhibits, June-July) and the Ann Arbor Art Fair (a juried show with more than 1,000 exhibitors, July).
