The Henry Ford Museum

The Museum is located in Dearborn, MI. It is magnificent and too much to describe here. You could easily spend more than a full day here, we cut it short to a half day in order to visit Fords Greenfield Village the other half.

The museum covers cars, presidential limos including Kennedy's in which he was assassinated, airplanes, racers, trains, campers, machinery from the Ford Model T factory, power plants, bus Rosa Parks Rode in Montgomery, AL., furniture and more.


The cars all looked new, displayed from the 1800's to the 1950's. This is a Tucker, it was supposed to be revolutionary, however they went broke after production in the teens.

Ford Tri Motor aircraft, Ford also developed a small recreational aircraft, the test pilot was killed in the prototype and Ford dropped the effort.


The first V8 powered car





Each day at the museum the visitors assemble a Ford Model T. It is completed in the afternoon, then you can sit behind the wheel and have your picture taken.



I was one of the early assemblers but left before it was completed, too bad no pic.

We departed in an Overland.
