The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation – A Treasure Trove of History

Published by

After our fantastic Rouge Factory Tour, we headed back to The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, a sprawling tribute to American ingenuity. The museum isn’t just about cars; it’s a treasure trove of historical artifacts that highlight innovation across multiple industries and time-lines. While cars are a big part of the story, the museum also showcases everything from early aeroplanes to steam engines, home appliances, and even presidential limousines.

Ford Rouge Factory Tour – The Heart of American Automobiles

Published by

Our day began with a tour of the legendary Ford Rouge Factory, which has been a cornerstone of Ford’s production since its inception in the early 20th century. The Rouge site was initially envisioned by Henry Ford as a “self-sufficient” factory, where raw materials could enter one end and finished cars could roll off the line at the other. Over the years, the factory has evolved, but it remains one of the most advanced manufacturing facilities in the world.

There’s something liberating about the open road – the rhythmic hum of tires, the changing landscape outside the window and the promise of new experiences just a few miles ahead. Ever since Gail and I were little kids, it has been engrained in our childhood. As adults, this is what we were looking for when embarking on our latest road trip adventures that began with a mid-morning flight from Toronto to Houston, Texas.
