Video The Henry Ford
It’s Metro Detroit’s own slice of Smithsonian-style grandeur. From steam engine trains to an authentic restoration village to a state-of-the-art IMAX theater to the Weiner Mobile, The Henry Ford is a one-of-a-kind historical resource that should be a required experience for every Metro Detroiter. Heck, they even make their own microbrews.

Here’s just a few of the things you can see at The Henry Ford:
- John F Kennedy’s presidential limousine
- Thomas Edison’s laboratory
- Fully functioning Ford Model Ts and steam locomotives
- The bus on which Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat
- R. Buckminster Fuller’s prototype Dymaxion house (the only one!)
- The Wright brothers’ bicycle shop
- An Oscar Mayer Wienermobile
And much much more.
A new exhibit of Hollywood costumes, including memorabilia from blockbuster films like The Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, Blade Runner, and Terminator as well as popular television programs such as Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica.
Where else can you see the Batmobile from Tim Burton’s 1989 film or the 1959 Cadillac ambulance that starred in Ghostbusters?
