Wow. This place was amazing. It was so fascinating to see something that you see everyday being made and the work that is behind it. The experience starts with a couple short videos and then you get to walk around some raised walkways viewing the assembly. Absolutely brilliant.

Just amazing to watch the Ford F-150s assembled. I lingered for almost two hours, watching multiple assembly line stations for a few minutes each... how did each station work, how did the parts fit into place, how were they secured, what pieces were installed before which other pieces. Amazing to watch... and then see finished trucks driven out of the building. 900 a day.

The factory was great. We enjoyed the videos explaining how Ford came to be, and the guides on the roof were able to answer all our questions. The factory itself was very interesting and I could have spent another hour exploring.

A must see while visiting Dearborn! If you are a historical or architectural enthusiast or just want to spend a nice day with family and friends, Greenfield Village is a wonderful place to visit! Walking in the park surrounded by fascinating historical buildings and beautiful manicured grounds, it almost feels like you have walked into the past! Greenfield Village allows the visitor to enjoy, not only the buildings and grounds, but to appreciate the contributions of so many heroes from all walks of life who have helped to make the world we live in a better place!

We had a great time in Greenfield Village and wish we had been able to stay longer. The displays were amazing! It was so fulfilling to see homes and workshops of Ford, Edison, Frost, McGuffy, Heinz, Webster, and many others. It is a MUST go!

Eric - Cuyahoga Falls, OH - August 2024

Kids and I had a great time and walk (and ride) through history. Kids loved riding the steam train and in the model T. My son especially liked catching the 1930 Ford bus to get around 'town'. Lots of living history with static displays and live interaction in the craft area including glass blowing, weaving and printing, not to mention the machine shop and pottery. There was absolutely a moment as I walked down Main Street that I really felt I had been drawn back in time and could easily be in a small town in the 1920s or 30s. Great experience and will go back.

The Henry Ford offers a remarkable experience that captures the spirit of American innovation, culture, and the evolution of the automotive industry, making it a perfect destination to share with friends and family from around the world. From historical artifacts to cutting-edge exhibits, it provides a truly global perspective on the ingenuity that shaped the United States. The entire experience is seamlessly run by a dedicated and knowledgeable staff, making it feel like a well-oiled machine fueled by passion and care.

We went to see the museum today, and we were very impressed by how much it had changed since we last saw it (I saw it in 1989 and my husband in 1995). Lots of beautiful cars including Presidential cars. There were a lot different exhibits: farming, trains, furniture, early days of flight, a modern glass gallery, and more. One of my favorites was the Dymaxion house. A must see museum if you are in the Detroit area.

VA-short-term - Richmond, VA - July 2025

This museum is one of the very best in the USA. I went with a group of fifty people I dare say that everyone was amazed at the enormity of the presentation of the American Innovation and Inventions of every imaginable items. Cars, planes, industrial equipment, and on and on. A must see museum.

Sswoger - Austintown, OH - June 2025

This was a place I've wanted to go to for many years, I was not disappointed. I would recommend the pass that gets you access to all places: museum, village, factory tour and the movie of your choice. I would also recommend the ride pass as well, the village is HUGE and takes a lot of walking to see everything. Each place was unique and enjoyable. From the diverse collections in the museum, to the village that has so many buildings and items, to finally the tour of the truck plant The highlight of our visit was the rides in actual model T vehicles throughout the village. For me, this was a bucket list item that I can now finally cross off my list and move on to the next one.

Travelintheusa – Lexington, KY – May 2025

If you LOVE HISTORY, this is THE place!! Definitely need three full days if you want to see everything. Spend one day in the indoor museum and two days exploring all the historic buildings. Recommend getting a yearly pass so you can come a go for as many days as you like. Definitely get the transportation option to ride in a Model-T, take the steam engine train ride and ride the Carousel. MUST get the Ford F-150 factory tour!!!

Michaela - Birmingham, MI - August 2025

My wife and I visited the Museum with friends who live in Michigan. It was part of a day spent at The Henry Ford where we toured the Factory and the Museum. Both elements were amazing and fascinating. We learned so much and we were constantly intrigued by the exhibits in the Museum. For me, personally, the row of Presidential limousines was a highlight. In addition, living in Massachusetts, the diner was a great place to have lunch and share my own nostalgia with our friends. We spent the entire afternoon in the museum, but honestly, we could have spent a couple of days in there. There was so much to see and it was all interesting. I highly recommend the experience and look forward to returning in the future.

Not every historic building can be preserved in its original location and for this reason, so many important places are forever lost. Not so for the Jackson Home that will find new life and meaning at The Henry Ford's Greenfield Village. The Jacksons are unsung heroes. Their generosity and courage show us how we, as ordinary Americans, can stand up against injustice and for the beloved community. The Henry Ford has taken a leadership role in broadening the history that museums can tell and enabling us all to envision a shared legacy that makes us stronger as a democratic nation of many diverse people.

Laura Lott, Former President & CEO, American Alliance of Museums

The Henry Ford has the expertise necessary to physically preserve the Jackson Home and its artifacts and to share its powerful story. In my view, the Jackson Home will be in excellent hands and will receive all of the care and attention this historically significant structure deserves.

The Hon. Abdullah Hammoud, Mayor of the City of Dearborn, Michigan

The city of Dearborn, Michigan, is blessed with many community assets. Among them is the State of Michigan's leading cultural tourism destination, The Henry Ford. For more than 90 years, it has drawn visitors from all 50 states and around the world to its National Historic Landmark campus. Its outdoor history complex, Greenfield Village, features 83 historic structures, all but one of which was brought to the site from a different point of origin. The Henry Ford has now been entrusted by its owner to take possession and bring to the Village the historic Jackson Home from Selma, Alabama. Here, the Home will benefit from The Henry Ford's resources that will protect its physical integrity in perpetuity and share its stories of the pivotal role it played in the civil rights movement of the 1960s with millions of in-person and virtual visitors.

The Hon. James Perkins Jr., Mayor of the City of Selma, Alabama

I celebrate the Jackson family's contribution to the 1960s Voting Rights Movement and express appreciation to The Henry Ford for relocating this valuable asset to historic Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. My hope is that the Jackson family, The Henry Ford, the city of Selma and the nation, immensely benefit from this powerful preservation initiative.

Our guests are still commenting on how exceptional the food & desserts were!!

The event was awesome — excellent facility, great food, staff wonderful!! Our guests continue to mention "what a wonderful event"!

Travel Pros - Trip Advisor

The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation is a vast display with numerous areas to explore. Our tour started with a trip to the Lamy's Diner... We really liked the DC-3 airplane hanging in the atrium of the museum. Other favorites included the Rose Parks Bus, the Ford Assembly Line display, the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile. We were able to take a guided tour of the Dymaxion House, a modular house of the future. Other items on display included motor vehicles through the years; Including more planes, trucks, trains, race cars, and other historic vehicles ... We look forward to going back and exploring more of the complex. We would highly recommend visiting the site.

One of the best museums I have ever visited. The Village is a place where you can stay all day in nice weather. Ride around the Village with original T-models or real steamlock or with carriages - visit the glassblowers or see how cheese is made and and and and ...... Listening to the employees.... Most of them have been around for a long time and can answer almost any question. And then there's the museum - you can find pretty much everything that moved in Henry Ford's time and more. If you are in the area ..... That's where you HAVE to go.

I could not have imagined a better wedding. The staff was attentive and kind, and the food was amazing. You made my dream wedding possible, and actually exceeded expectations.

The food was amazing. I heard from friends and guests that it was some of the best wedding food they've had! So, so good and the chef was awesome.

I am honored to partner with The Henry Ford to enhance the visitor experience with the addition of the Jackson Home at Greenfield Village. This historic private residence will now be included among other nationally significant homes and artifacts...
