Y Adrian Z

Adrian is a charming city in Michigan’s Lenawee County, originally founded in 1826 by Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad promoter Addison Comstock. Throughout the turn of the 20th century, the city gained international prominence for its status as the site of the invention of the world’s first wire fence and as the home of the Lion Motor Car Company. Visitors come from near and far to enjoy recreational opportunities at outdoor areas such as Devils Lake, Posey Lake, and Round Lake or to see performances at the historic Croswell Opera House which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Croswell Opera House The Croswell Opera House is Michigan’s oldest historic theater, located within the city’s downtown district. The theater is one of the United States’ oldest continuallyoperating theaters, originally constructed in 1866 as Adrian Union Hall. It has hosted major concerts, theatrical performances, and lectures by regional and international performers, including luminaries such as John Philip Sousa, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Susan B. Anthony, and Maude Adams. In 1985, the venue was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Theater spaces within the venue include the 640-seat Julia Argyros Theater, the 120-seat James E. Van Doren Studio, and the Farver’s at the Croswell piano bar. The Lenawee County Historical Museum The Lenawee County Historical Museum is a cultural and historical museum within Adrian’s Carnegie Library facility, showcasing collections of important artifacts related to the social and cultural history of Lenawee County. The museum was opened in 1972 by the Lenawee Historical Society and is housed within three floors of the National Register of Historic Places-listed library building, which showcases spectacular Romanesque architecture.
