Letter to Members

Hello Members,

I hope this message finds you safe and healthy. This time is challenging for all of us as we make adjustments to meet an unprecedented crisis. Without a doubt, the coronavirus pandemic affects each of us individually and The Henry Ford collectively.

Given the difficult news that The Henry Ford will remain closed through June 28, 2020, we are extending all memberships accordingly. No action on your part is needed. The update to your expiration date will be made automatically on the day we reopen. We value your support, and we simply want to do everything we can to show our gratitude.

While our venues are temporarily closed, your support is more important than ever. Memberships, gift memberships and donations make it possible for nonprofit organizations like The Henry Ford to continue caring for our collections, buildings, historic vehicles, farm animals and staff.

By becoming a member, renewing your membership on time or purchasing a gift membership to activate at a later date, you allow us to continue a portion of the work necessary to welcome you back as soon as possible.

As members and key stakeholders of this extraordinary institution, I have been so encouraged by your expressions of support through this time, and I thank you for your patience with us as we work to safely reopen our doors.

Our member community is strong, and we will get through this together.

Take care of yourselves and each other. And, as always, thank you for helping us to preserve the past and fuel the future.
