Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, Detroit, Michigan, United States, North America
The Henry Ford is a large indoor and outdoor history museum complex and a National Historic Landmark in the Metro Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan, USA. Named for its founder, the noted automobile industrialist Henry Ford, and based on his desire to preserve items of historical significance and portray the Industrial Revolution, the property houses a vast array of famous homes, machinery, exhibits, and Americana. The collection contains many rare exhibits including John F. Kennedy's presidential limousine, Abraham Lincoln's chair from Ford's Theatre, Thomas Edison's laboratory, the Wright Brothers' bicycle shop, and the Rosa Parks bus. The Edison Institute was dedicated by President Herbert Hoover to Ford's longtime friend Thomas Edison on October 21, 1929 the 50th anniversary of the first successful incandescent light bulb. Of the 260 people in attendance, some of the more famous were Marie Curie, George Eastman, John D. Rockefeller, Will Rogers, and Orville Wright. The dedication was broadcast on radio with listeners encouraged to turn off their electric lights until the switch was flipped at the Museum. The Edison Institute was originally composed of the Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, and the Greenfield Village Schools (an experimental learning facility). Initially, Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum were owned by the Ford Motor Company which cooperates with the Henry Ford to provide the Ford Rouge Factory Tour and is a sponsor of the school. The Henry Ford is sited between the Ford Dearborn test track and several Ford engineering buildings with which it shares the same style gates and brick fences. In 1970, the museum purchased what it believed to be a 17th-century Brewster Chair, created for one of the Pilgrim settlers in the Plymouth Colony, for $9,000. In September 1977, the chair was determined to be a modern forgery created in 1969 by Rhode Island sculptor Armand LaMontagne. The museum retains the piece as an educational tool on forgeries. Henry Ford Museum began as Henry Ford's personal collection of historic objects, which he began collecting as far back as 1906. Today, the 12 acre (49,000 m²) site is primarily a collection of antique machinery, pop culture items, automobiles, locomotives, aircraft, and other items. The Henry Ford is the largest indoor-outdoor museum complex in America. Patrons enter at the gate, passing by the Josephine Ford Memorial Fountain and Benson Ford Research Center. Nearly one hundred historical buildings were moved to the property from their original locations and arranged in a village setting. The museum's intent is to show how Americans lived and worked since the founding of the country. The Village includes buildings from the 17th century to the present, many of which are staffed by costumed interpreters who conduct period tasks like farming, sewing and cooking. A collection of craft buildings such as pottery, glass-blowing, and tin shops provide demonstrations while producing materials used in the Village and for sale. Greenfield Village has 240 acres (970,000 m²) of land of which only 90 acres (360,000 m²) are used for the attraction, the rest being forest, river and extra pasture for the sheep and horses. The transportation system provides rides by horse-drawn omnibus, steam locomotive, a 1931 Model AA bus (one of about 15 known to exist), and authentic Ford Model Ts. The Weiser Railroad is a standard gauge passenger train that travels around Greenfield Village and has four stations. Steam locomotives in operation include the Torch Lake, an 1873 0-6-4 Mason Bogie which is one of the oldest operating steam locomotives in the U.S., and the Edison, a Davenport 0-4-0 rebuilt into a 4-4-0 by Ford. The railroad, unusually for a heritage railway, has a direct connection to Amtrak.

America's Motor City (Detroit Historical Museum)
Did Detroit make cars or did cars make Detroit? In the early Twentieth Century Detroit became the leading producer of the automobile. That didn't happen by accident. It took a special mix of entrepreneurs, inventors, manufacturers, natural resources and capital to fuel Detroit's transformation into Motor City.
Visitors to the America's Motor City exhibit are enthralled by the interactive body drop installed in the gallery. Reclaimed from a retired assembly line -- the key to Detroit's dominance in auto manufacturing for many years -- this exhibit shows visitors how auto workers combine a chassis and body assembly.
Through the gallery's educational exhibits, museum visitors are taken from the early days of auto manufacturing -- when Henry Ford was offering cars in any color the customer wanted as long as that was black -- to the muscle cars of the 60s and beyond.

2017 USA Tour Detroit Part 1: Classic Restos Series 35
Fletch returns to the US and the home of Automotive Manufacturing, Detroit. In part 1, the Chrysler Corporations Turbine Concept Car from the 1960's is revealed, developed primarily because turbine engines rely on fewer moving parts and can use a range of different fuels. Only 55 of these two-door hardtop coupes were produced with an Italian designed futuristic shaped body for consumer testing, ultimately they were all returned to Chrysler after the test and all but nine destroyed.
At the Detroit Historical Museum Fletch talks with curator Dave who showcases an original piece of automotive manufacturing - the Cadillac Body Drop, the mechanism was acquired when the Clarke Street Cadillac plant was closed and placed in the museum as a working display of Cadillac history.
While in Detroit Fletch had the exclusive opportunity to see the latest Ford GT, a superb aerodynamic Twin Turbo 3.5 litre V6 that will be the challenger to the Ferrari Hypercars, and reflecting Fords 1966 Le Mans 24 Hour winner. Only 1,000 of these will be built and cost more than $450,000 each. Watch out for more episodes to come from Fletch's return to the USA.
Greater Detroit Resource Recovery Facility and Belle Isle B-Roll (1989)
2015.008.294
U-Matic S tape containing b-roll footage shot inside and outside of the Greater Detroit Resource Recovery Facility, followed by footage shot around several sites on Belle Isle--the James Scott Memorial Fountain, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, Central Avenue, Central Avenue, and the Detroit Yacht Club.
The tape begins with footage shot at the Greater Detroit Resource Recovery Facility. Here the camera rolls as loader tractors move trash around in large piles inside the facility, garbage trucks dump their trash, and garbage is ferried along on a conveyor belt. The camera then moves to the facilities exterior for pans across its grounds, before returning to the interior area. Here, the crew films the large trash pile, conveyor belts, a mechanical claw, and a worker in a control room.
The next portion of the video was shot on Belle Isle. It begins with footage of the James Scott Fountain, including zooms from several of the figures decorating it. From the fountain's grounds the camera also is zoomed in and out from the corner of the Casino, the foot of Central Avenue, and the top of Harbortown Spinnaker Tower.
Additional shots follow of the statue of James Scott, people visiting the fountain, people relaxing and exercising on the grass adjacent to the fountain, and the Renaissance Center on the city's skyline.
The camera then moves outside of the Dossin Great Lakes Museum. These shots feature the United States Coast Guard cutter, and the cannons. From the south side of the Strand in front of the Dossin, the camera also gets shots of the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory across the canal to the north, and of nearby bridges over the canal. During this portion part of a WJR radio broadcast can be heard, including an advertisement for Edmund T. Ahee Jewelry. A man and woman are also filmed walking along the Strand to the west of the Dossin.
The camera then moves to Central Avenue, for a zoom out from the Alpheus Starkey Williams Monument, revealing the road to the east. During this stretch of the tape, several motorcyclists are also shown driving across one of the park's fields. The camera also gets a close-up of the sign in front of the Belle Isle Zoo, and several shots of the Belle Isle Playscape from the road.
The final portion of the tape was shot from Riverbank Drive to the south of the Detroit Yacht Club. From here, the camera pans around the club's marina, and zooms out from its sign.
The recording is on a UCA-30s U-Matic S tape with a handwritten 3M label on its top. The tape is housed in a black plastic latching case with a handwritten City of Detroit Department of Public Information Video Production label on its cover. The case also contains a handwritten shot list:

Ford - The History of Motor City
For more than a century, the automobile and the city of Detroit have grown up together, each influencing the other. Throughout the highs and lows, the cars and the community have been chronicled at Detroit Historical Museum which is located in the city’s cultural center. One of the stars of the museum’s collection is the 1963 Ford Mustang II concept. The Mustang II debuted 50 years ago at the United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, New York. Produced from one of the development prototypes for the upcoming production model, it gave the world its first real preview of what the 1965 Mustang would look like. The industry and the city that is home to it have been through many difficult periods of the years, but both are currently experiencing a renaissance by refocusing on the fundamentals. The mix of startup businesses like Shinola and classic elements of the city are drawing new residents and entrepreneurs, just as the auto industry is coming back with an emphasis on great products.
Bring the Detroit Central Farmers Market to Greenfield Village
The Henry Ford acquired the Vegetable Building from Detroit's Central Farmers Market in 2003, saving it from demolition. Like the farmers markets of today, the Detroit Central Farmers Market was a gathering place – a commercial center, a hub of entrepreneurship and a community space where family, friends, and neighbors congregated and socialized.
This farmers market can become a destination again, a resource for exploring America's agricultural past, present, and future. We need your help to make this happen. #PledgeYourPassion by making a gift this Giving Tuesday.
The Central Farmers Market began in 1843 as a simple shed built off the rear of the old City Hall building. Problems with traffic congestion caused by the market, along with the desire to make the prominent square more presentable, led newly elected Mayor Christian H. Buhl to pledge to build a new covered market building. The city hired local architect John Schaffer to develop plans. Schaffer’s design called for a “structure to be comprised of forty-eight iron columns supporting a wooden roof, [measuring] 70 by 242 feet from outside to outside.” The construction contract was awarded in June to Joel Gray at a cost of $5,312.
The City of Detroit invested in a new permanent market building - this expansive vegetable hall - in 1860. Located at the east end of Michigan Avenue, just east of Woodward at Campus Martius, it was roughly four blocks square, extending from Woodward to Randolph. The major building in the market was the expansive vegetable building. Market gardeners, florists, orchardists, and nurserymen sold their produce from rented stalls between 1861 and 1893.
The growth of Central Market reflects Detroit’s growth as a city. Much of Detroit’s early history revolved around its importance as a port and strategic location in the Great Lakes. During the 19th century, Detroit’s manufacturing base and its population grew rapidly, more than doubling every 10 years from just 2,222 people in 1830 to 45,619 in 1860. The Central Market was the first Detroit market not located by the docks, reflecting the city’s transition from a port town to a city. Farmers were now coming to Detroit to sell to city residents, rather than to ship produce to eastern cities.
The Detroit Central Farmers Market vegetable building is a rare and important building. Because of fires and development pressures, wooden commercial buildings, particularly timber-framed buildings, rarely survive to the present in urban settings. This may be the only 19th century timber-frame market building surviving in the United States. Its move to Belle Isle saved it from demolition.

List of All Cars (Almost) Inside Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, Michigan
Here I have a list of all (almost) the historic cars and vehicles that you would see inside the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, Michigan. This list of vehicles would give you a sense of appreciation of how amazing this museum is. Also, the Henry Ford Museum is more than just cars. So when you visit, expect to see other types of locomotives, aircraft, and even Ford’s personal collections of historic objects that date back to the early 1900s.
My original plan was to spend 1.5 hours inside the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, Michigan. That was also the time estimate given to me by a friend who had been to the museum before. I thought that sparing 1.5 hours would be enough to roam around the one-floor museum, see the exhibits, and learn its history. Oh boy, I was wrong. The 1.5 hours turned to almost 3 hours! Time ran so fast when I was enjoying every display of vehicle inside the 49,000 sq.m. indoor complex. Being the largest indoor-outdoor museum complex in the United States, I completely underestimated the time.

Detroit: The Arsenal of Democracy (Detroit Historical Museum)
From ground transportation to B-24s, Detroit's manufacturing capabilities made it central to the United States efforts in World War II.
Employing 40,000 people, the Willow Run bomber plant was the largest factory in the world, churning out one complete B-24 Liberator every hour. By the end of the war, the men and women who worked at Willow Run had manufactured 8,576 B-24s. Along the way they used 2.7 billion rivets.
But bombers weren't Detroit's only contribution to the war effort. Ammunition, communication equipment, vehicles, weapons, protective gear, tools and field goods were all made in Detroit. So much war manufacturing was done there that by the middle of the war Detroiter were responsible for producing one-third of all the materials used by the armed forces.
The Arsenal of Democracy gallery -- which takes its name from President Franklin D. Roosevelt's request that the nation become an arsenal of democracy shows how a city turned its skilled labor force and manufacturing expertise into making The Yanks a force to be reckoned with and with helping the Allies win the war.
The Nations Biggest Collection Of Racist Objects Are All In A Michigan College Basement (HBO)
David Pilgrim, a Black sociologist, runs the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia out of the small, white, Trump-voting town of Big Rapids, MI. With the help of private donors like Chuck and Ward, an elderly gay couple, Pilgrim believes that sharing his expansive collection can change the way racism is perceived in the United States.

A TOUR OF HISTORIC SAGINAW, MICHIGAN: 1852 TO 1907 - MICHIGAN, SAGINAW
A few years back a friend, Gil Alburg, was cleaning out a basement and happened across this wonderful antique book of image from Saginaw, Michigan. The book was in horrible shape but many of the images were able to be saved. Most of the images on this presentation are from that book. Saginaw was once the lumbering capitol of the nation. Now it is one of the top ten most violent cities in the United States. A sad shame to be sure. The book is archived in our collections with the Small Lake Michigan Historical Society.
