 Tribute to Auto Leaders & Pioneers |
21400 Oakwood Blvd Detroit, MI 48124 United States +1 313 240 4000 http://www.automotivehalloffam... |
The Hall of Fame is the automobile industry's own monument to its pioneers, innovators and captains. It was located in Midland, Michigan, until this new 25,000-square-foot building was built adjacent to Greenfield Village in 1997. A 65-foot-long, 12-foot-high mural by artist and former car designer John Gable illustrates the history of the motor vehicle. Interactive exhibits and historical information abound throughout the Hall, with biographies of the more than 150 inductees. A package admission can be purchased to include the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. Review © 2007, Wcities |

There are five separate elements to this tour. All Historic Driving Tours begin on the historic grounds of The Henry Ford. Buses will transport you for a narrated driving tour past famous landmarks and behind the scenes of this massive manufacturing complex. At the Rare Historic Footage Viewing learn about the triumphs and tragedies surrounding the Rouge, much of it told through rare, never-before-seen historic footage. The Virtual Reality Experience will provide you with a 360-degree look at how automobiles are made! On the Observation Deck Tour view the world's largest living roof from the 80-foot-high Observation Deck. Lastly, at the Assembly Plant Walking Tour see where the new Ford F-150s are assembled in a new lean and flexible manufacturing plant.

Authentic Living History |

The Detroit area's most famous attraction, along with adjacent Henry Ford Museum, this is a sprawling recreation of bygone days in American life. The working village recreates everyday activities in the 18th and 19th centuries, with frequent demonstrations of lost arts such as blacksmithing, typesetting and glass blowing. A recreation of Thomas Edison's Menlo Park workshop is among many monuments to invention. Historic homes and cabins from across the United States have been relocated or rebuilt here. The village is living history, with its own working farm and frequent events such as 1860s-rules baseball games. Joint admissions with Henry Ford Museum are available. You can spend several fascinating days in this incomparable place if you are a history buff. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Home of Auto Pioneer |
4901 Evergreen Rd Detroit, MI 48128 United States +1 313 593 5590 http://www.umd.umich.edu/fairl... |
The home of automobile pioneer Henry Ford and his wife Clara from 1915 to 1950, this estate, known as Fair Lane, reflects Ford's love of nature and his simple, eclectic tastes. Originally set on 1,300 acres of wooded land, the estate includes a powerhouse recently restored to operating capacity. Most of the land was given to the University of Michigan, but the remaining 72 acres was designed a National Historic Landmark in 1966. The house was built with roughly hewn Ohio limestone. Much can be learned here about one of history's most important men. Tours are USD10 for adults, USD9 for seniors 62 and over, USD6 for children 5-12, and free for children under five years. Also see Henry Ford Museum. Review © 2007, Wcities |

With nine acres of exhibits and millions of artifacts, Henry Ford Museum offers a mesmerizing history of America as displayed in the products that changed the culture of the nation and the world. The museum has a 1909 Ford Model T and many other vehicles, but it doesn't just concentrate on automobiles: it has a locomotive, a 1930s kitchen, the chair in which Abraham Lincoln was assassinated and Edgar Allen Poe's writing desk, along with other artifacts from the realms of transportation, manufacturing, domestic life, technology and entertainment. When here, a visit to the in-house Henry Ford IMAX Theatre might offer good entertainment and relaxation. Review © 2007, Wcities |
