Trip to the Ford

[Neverdone]

So Friday the old lady and I decided to take a trip to the Henry Ford Museum. They have a big Titanic Exhibit going on now till the end of September. It is well worth the trip, but, they do not allow any pictures inside the exhibit . But I managed to steal one, no one was around, nothing really important . In any case here are a few of my favorites from the trip. And here is a link to the album if anyone wants to see it The Henry Ford.

Lincoln's Actual Chair he was shot in.

The actual Fully restored Rosa Parks Bus

Very cool pictures. I love that flathead powered dragster and the historical stuff, like Lincoln's chair and Rosa's bus.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for risking your freedom by snapping a few pics! Hope that we can find the time to visit also.

was the Cougar on display of any signifigance (sp) ? I know that there were two Boss 429 Cougars produced. Not for sure who owns them.

The only pictures you aren't allowed to take are inside the exhibit for the Titanic. No the cougar wasn't anything special, I just always liked them......

On your ticket there is a name of a Titanic passenger and some bio info ( male passenger for the men ans female passenger for the ladies). At the end of the museum tour there is a wall of names of the passengers and whether they survived or not.

I took the wife & kids there in January when we were up for my dad's funeral. I love that place. When I lived up there we went either there or Greenfield Village every year.

Sarge if you get a chance head down there before the end of September. The Titanic exhibit is there until then. When you go they give a boarding pass and as the others have said at the end there is a wall of names and you get to find your name from your pass (actual passenger names) and see if you lived or died. I died . It was well worth the money spent. They have some real interesting stuff in the exhibit and a life size recreation of the grand stair case where you can get your picture taken and a life size bow rail recreation you can get your picture take with.
