America's Greatest History Attraction

At The Henry Ford, you'll find 26 million objects - 26 million examples of ingenuity and imagination spanning more than 300 years. They're the finest record of the American Experience anywhere.

From the tiniest microchip to the largest locomotive, The Henry Ford is a treasure house of ideas and innovations. You'll find society-shifting inventions from the likes of Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Buckminster Fuller and The Wright Brothers. And you'll discover achievements every bit as amazing from people you've never even heard of.



And don't think all of these designs and devices are just sitting there. We're putting them to work to stimulate new thinking and new conversations. Our researchers, educators and curators are introducing the stories and people behind them into curricula and showing teachers across the country how to use them to nurture a new generation of critical thinkers. We're bringing together the nation's business leaders to discuss and discover new ways to innovate within their organizations. We're hosting product development teams from top technology companies who mine the past for new insights. And we're reaching out to some of today's most visionary thinkers and doers to capture and share the ways they've helped to create positive - and often sweeping - change.



Above all, we're working to make the very stuff of innovation - the objects, people, stories and content - accessible to everyone. We're seeking out new ways to share our resources and expertise. And we're building communities of people nationwide who are passionate about creating a culture of innovation to take on the biggest challenges we're facing today and tomorrow.
