Great museum , great tour guides. I really enjoyed the tour guides, funny and super informative. Worth a visit if you like cars or history. Lots of cool rare cars too.

Check out the gift store ! They have cool items I haven't seen elsewhere. And visit the "secret" room where the Model T was born! #FordNAIAS #FordEspanol

Some very rare cars sit in there. Like history making cars. They are constantly upgrading or adding on to the museum so always worth coming back every once in a while.

HISTORY

The Piquette Avenue Plant, built in 1904, was the first factory built by the Ford Motor Company, opening just a year after Henry Ford and his partners incorporated.

The renovated 2nd and 3rd floors feature some great early 1900s cars, great venue to check out. Also, Henry Ford 's office desk is reportedly on the 1st floor.
