Embrace America's History!

Okay, so, today I have decided to focus on the Henry Ford Museum as a Metro Detroit attraction that EVERYONE who lives or comes to Metro Detroit should visit :)

The Henry Ford Museum is located in Dearborn, on 20900 Oakwood Boulevard and is open all year around, seven days a week from 9am to 5pm. General admission tickets are $15, kids ages 5-12 are $11, and children under 4 years at FREE! Military is offered free admission all year.

What is the Henry Ford Museum? The Henry Ford Museum is a collection full of rich American history and learning opportunities...without the bordum! It documents America's history of resourcefulness and innovation over the generations. Founded by Henry Ford in 1929, his hopes for the Henry Ford Museum were that it would "give us a sense of unity...through the generations, and to convey the inspiration of American genius to our youth."

 Visiting the Henry Ford will take you back to explore the tremendous impact the automobile had on American society (with exhibits and all). Visitors will be able to see the exact limousine John F. Kennedy was riding in when he was shot, and the same historic rocking chair that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in. You will be able to explore the history of American society and lifestyle, as well as the famous Rosa Parks bus and the Wienermobile.
