The Henry Ford Museum

I am so glad I became a member of the Henry Ford Museum! I enjoyed the Marvel exhibit and Halloween events that were an awesome experience!!
My grandson had a blast!! seeing MARVEL come to life and all of us enjoying the historical items on display what a BLAST!! In addition to the Halloween event which was so much fun..seeing the village become the characters and the costumes were eye stopping...I will be going back to Henry Ford and enjoy all of the festivities and events and historical items over and over and over over again!!

What a great museum!!

Schools can't call it 'Columbus Day' anymore, but my son still got the day (and the day after) off. While looking around online for something to do, my wife came upon The Henry Ford, and the current Marvel exhibit, and we thought "that isn't that far..." so we bought tickets and road tripped from North Aurora, IL.

Having visited during October 2020, naturally, there was restrictions in place, and some things were closed down, which was a bit disappointing, but we still enjoyed our visit.

The Marvel exhibit is interesting and loaded with cool stuff to see, and that Iron Man interactive thing is super cool. We kept calling my wife "IRON MOM" when it was her turn.

The museum has a bunch of other cool things to see as well. A small collection of Presidential automobiles, airplanes, trains, vintage farm equipment, old power generators, the bus from Montgomery, AL which played a HUGE role in the Civil Rights movement in the 60s when Rosa Parks refused to move (the Civil Rights section is incredible) - I also saw hand-written letters from George Washington on display, that was amazing to me.

Overall, a very nice, very well-maintained place. We had a very good time here.

A must see if you are a Ford fan. Very interesting. With presidential limousines and many other old vehicles to old furniture and stoves it is very interesting. They also have an old steam engine you can explore and a large gift shop. The staff was also really friendly and helpful. Go you will never regret it.

As usual, a wonderful experience. I'm still pleasantly surprised how clean this building is and the well maintained exhibits. Real competition for Disney establishments as far as cleanliness goes. We've been going here for 40+ years and nothing has lost its sparkle. Take your kids, it's a great time!

If you ever get a chance to go just do it. It's a world class museum that never feels stuffy or too academic. Take the train ride and eat all of the custard. Get a hot dog. Walk through the village and go back in time. It's pretty magical.
