Ford Rouge Factory Tour, Industrial museum in Dearborn, United States
The Ford Rouge Factory Tour is a visitor center in Dearborn that provides access to an elevated walkway overlooking the final assembly and quality testing of Ford F-150 trucks in real time. The tour shows all steps of vehicle production from raw material delivery to the finished product.
The Rouge plant was established in 1917 as Henry Ford's vision of vertical integration, where raw materials were transformed into complete vehicles at a single location. This factory became one of the largest and most influential manufacturing facilities in the automotive industry.
The Legacy Theater presents the story of workers and management collaborating throughout decades to create one of America's largest manufacturing facilities.
The center is easy to reach on weekdays and offers guided tours through various parts of the factory. Comfortable shoes and moderate fitness help since the visit involves significant walking and climbing stairs.
The factory roof is covered with a 10.4-acre green roof system that filters stormwater and regulates internal temperature. This ecological feature is a rare example of sustainability in a large industrial facility.
