The Henry Ford Museum (2)


6/18/2016	Our Location: Dearborn, MI The Henry Ford
Mark has been to the Henry Ford Museum before. It is his most favorite museums. Now the museum is referred to as The Henry Ford. The main reason we returned to the museum was to see the automobile exhibit as it was closed the last time we were here. 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. We also took in the tour of the Rouge Plant where Ford pickup trucks are assembled.

	During plant rebuild, living roofs were added to the factory roofs for environmental and cost savings.
