2. The most celebrated battle in Michigan's history took place without a shot ever being fired. This unusual "battle" took place during the War of 1812, on a small island in the Great Lakes. It all began in the early morning darkness when British troops stealthily landed on the northern end of this island, dragged several cannons up a steep bluff and aimed them at the American fort below. When the American officers woke up and saw what was pointing down at them, they surrendered without firing a single shot. Today, the fort is part of a state park that covers 83% of the island. Within the fort is the Officers Stone Quarters, a 1781 limestone building now ranked as the oldest building in the state. Name this island, which is enclosed by an 8-mile long, shoreline road and crisscrossed by over 140 miles of other scenic roads and trails.
   
   
3. Car Collector Magazine called this Michigan museum "one of the 10 best large automotive attractions in the United States." The museum's beginnings started when Donald's wife gave him a 1920 Pierce-Arrow automobile for his birthday. Donald stored his birthday present in a tent and started restoring it. After his hobby had grown into a collection of 30 other automobiles, they purchased a 90-acre farm and moved several historic barns to the property to house his collection. In time, six more barns followed, along with a 1930s service station and a small town train station. Today, museum visitors can see a Duesenberg, a Locomobile, and a Tucker, as well as 200 other vintage vehicles spanning 100 years of automotive history. Name this museum located near Hickory Corners where visitors can also view the largest hood ornament collection in North America and 75 vintage pedal cars.
   
   
4. This Michigan inland lake has been ranked by National Geographic as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. With a surface area of 29 square miles, it is the state's second largest lake, as well as the largest in terms of water volume. At 18 miles long, it is also Michigan's longest lake. Because Native Americans used torches to fish at night, they called the lake "Wass Waganing," meaning the place of birch bark torch. Name this lake that is renowned for its Caribbean-blue water.
   
   
5. True or False: The Detroit area has the largest Arab population in the world outside of the Middle East.
