River Rouge, MI

united states

River Rouge is a small industrial city 10 miles southwest of Detroit, easily reached via I-75 (exits 43-44) or local routes like Michigan Avenue and Jefferson Avenue. The city sits where the Rouge River meets the Detroit River, creating the natural harbor that attracted Ford Motor Company to build its massive Rouge Factory here in 1918. Today, visitors can tour this historic complex and watch F-150 trucks being assembled on the production line.
