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.

La guide Danielle nous transmet sa passion pour l'histoire de Lamothe Cadillac qui a finalement été le premier Gouverneur de la ville de Detroit dans le Michigan aux USA. Plus tard, cette entreprise américaine créait la marque Cadillac en utilisant le blason de notre natif de St Nicolas de la Grave.

Superbe visite gratuite ! On en apprend beaucoup sur la vie de ce personnage qui vaut le coup d'être entendue, un beau travail pour meubler le musée et une guide super sympa. Je recommande chaudement si vous êtes de passage dans le village.
