Climb into our Driving America vehicles with Midcoast Studios

The Henry Ford’s new exhibit, Driving America, offers visitors a new way of looking at the history and impact of the automobile on American life. It also offers visitors a new way of seeing our car collection. Last winter, photographer Mark Harmer of Midcoast Studio in Troy, Michigan, spent two months photographing 120 (!) of our vehicles. Take a look.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in Henry Ford Museum

Henry Ford Museum was a great place to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The activities scheduled for the day appealed to visitors of all ages. The museum was full of folks eager to enjoy the special things planned in honor of the holiday. There was an extra-added bonus of it being a Target Family Day, which meant no charge for admission. (The next Target Family Day is February 20.)
