Henry Ford's fascinating ode to American progress--and peculiarity.

by Contributor

In Short
This 12-acre museum, the sister-complex to Greenfield Village next door, was Henry Ford's showcase for Yankee ingenuity. Endowed by Ford in 1929, the museum not only spotlights the automotive industry, but traces the country's journey from a rural society to an industrialized nation, with exhibits dedicated to advances in transportation, agriculture, communications and home arts. Kids marvel at the bicycle built for 10, the first Oscar Mayer "Wienermobile" (circa 1936), and a 600-ton steam engine.

Marvellous place to visit with children. Could do without some of the new attractions - seem to detract from the overall experience rather than add to it.

This is a great venue for there are many things to do and see for people of all ages with changes through out the year. Seasonal changes are of special interest with activities for children. A yearly pass may be purchased so you may return often to spend an hour or a whole day. We go often to just take a walk through pleasant surroundings. The employees are very helpful if you have any special concerns.

• Pros: GOOD VALUE
• Cons: PARKING AT TIMES
