The Cranbrook institutions serve as an
educational, research, and public museum complex in Bloomfield Hills,
Michigan. Named as a National Historic Landmark, it was founded in the early
20th century by newspaper mogul George Gough Booth. It grew in size and
content to include three Cranbrook Schools, the Cranbrook Academy of Art and
Art Museum, Cranbrook Institute of Science, and Cranbrook House and Gardens.
The founders also constructed Christ Church Cranbrook to serve as a focal
point serving the educational complex and its surrounding community; the
church subsequently became a separate entity under the aegis of
the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan. The sprawling 319-acre campus began as a
174-acre farm, purchased in 1904, and the organization takes its name
from Cranbrook, England, the birthplace of the founder's father.
