Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation

 Today we went to Dearborn, MI to the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. It was amazing! It was like Disney World for historians! Many presidential official cars were displayed, such as President Reagan, Dwight D. Eisenhower and the car that President Kennedy was riding in when he was assassinated. All were authentic. So many displays of automobiles, flying machines and all things mechanical . Also on the grounds is Greenfield Village which displayed Henry Ford's actual childhood home with many original or exact duplicates of the furnishings, Edison's workshop and some artsy dinosaurs that were controlled by levers, wires and cables. Either way, what a fun and interesting day!
