The Henry Ford

The Henry Ford spans 250 acres featuring three distinct sections: the main museum building, Greenfield Village outdoor exhibits, and the Ford Rouge Factory Tour center.

Founded in 1929 by automobile manufacturer Henry Ford, the institution began as the Edison Institute to preserve artifacts of American industrial and cultural progress.

The museum collection includes significant American objects like President Lincoln's chair from Ford's Theatre and the presidential limousine of John F. Kennedy.

The museum welcomes visitors on weekends from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, offering wheelchair access throughout the facilities and designated parking areas.

The Greenfield Village section contains over 100 historical buildings relocated from their original sites, connected by an operating heritage railroad system.
