In Dearborn, Michigan, you will find The Henry Ford Museum and Village. It was pouring all day so we skipped the Village and opted for a few hours in the museum. You could spend all day here. It has over 300 years of history and artifacts. The number of cars alone is staggering. Here are my highlights from our stop at The Henry Ford Museum.

| Oldest surviving automobile in America from 1865. |
They had a large collection of presidential vehicles.
 |
| JFK's car from his fateful ride in Dallas. |
 |
| Just liked it cause it said Davenport, IA...my hometown |
 |
| A school bus built in 1927. Could be the oldest surviving school bus in America. |
 |
| From 1960...look at the price of a hamburger. |
 |
| The bus Rosa Parks rode. |
 |
| Love this quote by Rosa Parks. |
 |
Chair President Lincoln was sitting in at Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865.
Then there was a display called "Your Place in Time." |

| I remember practicing this drill as a child. |

This is what computers looked like when I first started teaching.
Make sure you stop here if you are ever near Detroit. |
