About this adventure

Celebrate Thanksgiving Day inside Detroit's most famous historic landmark: The Whitney mansion in Midtown. Built in 1894 by lumber baron David Whitney Jr., this breathtaking 52-room Romanesque Revival estate features 218 ornate stained glass windows crafted by Tiffany & Co., elaborately carved grand oak staircases, and glowing wood-burning fireplaces throughout its dining parlors. The annual Thanksgiving Family Feast offers an opulent four-course dinner highlighting roasted Michigan heritage turkey with cranberry-apple dressing, garlic mashed potatoes, carved prime rib, butternut squash bisque, and house-made autumn pies. A special three-course children's menu caters to young diners with roasted turkey, macaroni and cheese, and chocolate mousse. Valet parking and elevator access ensure comfortable family visits.
