Because of The Henry Ford’s enormous size (250 acres), scope (300 years of history) and content (26 million artifacts), you might take on the Dearborn, Michigan, attraction in manageable sections:
Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation Highlights include the Kennedy limousine, the Lincoln rocking chair and the Rosa Parks bus. Guests can see the aircraft exhibit, step inside the circular Dymaxion House and explore the 600-ton Allegheny Locomotive.
Greenfield Village Check out the lab where Thomas Edison had his lightbulb moment, visit the Wright brothers’ workshop and take a ride in a real Model T.
Ford Rouge Factory Tour Absorb the awe-inspiring scale of the factory floor where the Ford F-150 is built.
“The best value for our tour operators is the ‘All-American Package,’ which includes admission to the museum, village and factory tour,” says Vickie Evans, senior account representative. “You also get unlimited rides on the Model T, steam locomotive, horse-drawn carriage and 1913 carousel.”
For more information, email Evans or visit thehenryford.org.
