Inside
The Henry Ford
Telling history through artifacts is what we at The Henry Ford do. In our own way, we are also innovators, exploring the authenticity of objects and searching for new meanings about the people, ideas, and events that made them. Here, we present stories that give you a glimpse into our own creative process. Stories about how and why we curate exhibits, about our discoveries of iconic objects, and about the ingenuity and resourcefulness we employ to preserve and restore them.
