Good history of a transitional time in history, by a gentleman president . Too bad we don't have any politicians like this anymore.

Linda Sherman

Beautiful grounds, enjoyable videos and displays.

Ford is the only president with a presidential library and presidential museum on separate sites. If you're looking to do research, head to Ann Arbor!

Presidential Libraries

Gerald Ford became the first President to donate his papers to the federal government while in office with a 1973 letter to the University of Michigan president and the Archivist of the United States .

There is a film that starts every hour on the hour. Ford's burial Site is open for half an hour after the museum closes.

Bobby Kennedy

Nothing groundbreaking in its presentation but the museum does its job in honoring the man and documenting a memorable period of American history.
