Henry Ford Museum


7/4/2011	Our Location: Dearborn, MI Henry Ford Museum
Mark has been to the Henry Ford Museum before. It is his most favorite museums. The Henry Ford Museum is a continual work-in-progress and this time, the automobile exhibit was closed for remodeling. But there were still several cars to see. The number of pictures here is limited because Mark spent most of the time looking, remembering old exhibits and taking in the new. As all m museums, the only way to see them is in person because photographs cannot do justice to the exhibits.
