The Henry Ford


We spent the day today at the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn. It's a great place and we spent about 5 hours walking and looking.


The Henry Ford looks more like a university than a museum. It's extremely well done and elegant both inside and out. Lots of great stuff like Lincoln's chair from the Ford Theater, Kennedys limo in which he was shot, The Rosa Parks bus and lots of other interesting stuff.










Walking in we were met by this train from the 1800s. We were amazed at the restoration and quality of all the exhibits.










 This is for Heber..... kinda looks like Ole Stinky to me.










This one is for Don.... how about planting corn with this two row horse drawn planter?










And, last but not least, this one is for James....... how about the wiener mobile?











This is our home at Camp Dearborn. Lots of leg room and close to the quaint little town of Milford. Tomorrow it's off to the village at the Henry Ford and then on to Canada. More tomorrow.
