A Trip To Henry Ford Museum

Being from Michigan we get to take advantage of Henry Ford's vision of an amazing museum & property, The Henry Ford Museum Museum & Greenfield Village are full of amazing historical attractions like Albert Einstein's original Menlo Park Labratory, war buildings & a working farm.

On the inside of the museum are amazing pieces like this one.  The chair the President Lincoln was sitting in when he was shot, along with an original playbill.

The Bus that Rosa Parks made her famous ride is there along with the Wright Brother's original plane.

This is the car (with a roof now) that President Kennedy was assisinated in.  The US Presidents continued to use this car for almost 15 years after Kennedy was shot.

Chris always likes the trains best & I oblige him by trying to ooh & aah over them every time!

Dubbed America's Greatest History Attraction I think they might be right.  If you're ever in South Eastern Michigan try to see Greenfield Village & Henry Ford Museum.
