 7/19/21 - We visited the Henry Ford Museum today. The museum is more than just cars or Ford for that matter. The museum includes a collection of cars, trucks, race cars, manufacturing equipment, planes, trains and a village/farm that includes historic houses that were moved to create a town of sorts. We also toured the Rouge F150 truck plant which encompasses 2,000 acres under roof. The plant has been retooled over the last 100 years. The plant tour was very cool as we watched a new ford truck completed every 92 minutes. Due to the worldwide chip shortage there were a sea of F150's stored on lots.
