Outdoor portion of Henry Ford's Museum

 

 

 

 

While in Detroit we went to the Henry Ford's Museum. There was so much to see that it took us two days to go through it. The first day we went through the outdoor portion. They had old Ford Model T cars, trains, and carriages pulled by horses. We rode in all of them! They also had different outdoor games from the time period of Henry Ford. The kids enjoyed pitching bean bags into a small hole, and playing baseball with wood bats. We saw the home where Henry Ford grew up, and the shop where the Wright Brothers built their first airplane. One interesting fact we learned while being there was that Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were childhood friends. They lived near each other and their families would vacation together. It was very interesting!
