An incredible place. The Lincoln chair and Kennedy car truly are surreal. Almost baffling that they're not in the Smithsonian. Thanks for the upload :-)

A few years ago my wife and I went on vacation to Dearborn Michigan and went to the Henry Ford Museum. I was totally blown away by the size of the locomotive. We also went to Fairlane, the Henry Ford estate, and Greenfield Village. All three of these places need to be visited by anyone who goes to Dearborn for a vacation.

Well you knocked it out of the park again!. You had me glued to the TV set for the whole video! What an awesome museum!. I am so happy I found this other KZfaq channel that you produce! As always thanks for sharing!

i don't know how your video showed up in my feed, but the henry ford (including all venues) is a pure gem. i wish more locals would take advantage of this attraction. a lot of my peers think it's a place "for kids" because they remember field trips there. it's not. i call it another world right down the street. i love it.

That was a fascinating trip. Thank you so much for the upload. The Ford GT pair, Presidential limos, Lincoln's chair, where my faves

Love these vids, my mini vacations while i'm working.

Great video that I had not seen. The JFK limo took me back to 1963. I was 12 and will never forget that tragedy in American history. The nation was glued to their television sets. It made me shudder to see that car again. ☮️

Loved this one, Chris. Very interesting is an understatement. Thanks for posting, so I could see this place.

WOW another awesome video!! I definitely need to take a trip to the museum!!! I love all the old cars and trains!!! Thank you for doing such awesome videos!!!

Thanks for the video. I was there in 1973 or 1974 and was surprised at what a huge place it is. That locomotive didn't translate on the video. It is HUGE! Thanks for bringing back some memories. 🎉❤🎉

Thank you for the tour! I have not been to this museum since I was in high school, 1972.

Love Henry Ford Museum! I’ve got a photo of me hugging my sweet Momma in front of that huge train! Great video! Don’t forget to ride the carousel at Greenfield Village❤️

On 10/12/62, I saw Pres. Kennedy & Jackie riding in this same Lincoln Cont. as I was preparing to march with my High School, in the Columbus Day Parade, in NYC! Unexpectedly, they came before the parade & disappeared just as fast! Since then, I have seen this vehicle on display in Las Vegas & also at the Ford Museum! Memories!

I've always been so fascinated with Kennedys assasination that I discovered Lyndon Johnson had it immediately cleaned, repainted, and put back to service as soon as the murder took place. It eerily continued to serve from Johnsons administration all the way up to Carters presidency. Very morbid if u ask me.

I've lived in the Detroit area for 25 years and have yet to visit the Henry Ford Museum. There are a lot of abandoned factories in Detroit you could visit while you're in the area.

Chris, perfect start to the video-at the presidents’ limos.

Glad you had a chance to visit the Henry..been there many times myself with so much to see and do. Beautiful in the fall and Christmas too. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic video! Well done and narrated. The Henry Ford Museum will be my next road trip destination ( around the end of Oct.) and this gave great insight!

Chris - You take us to some of the most amazing places. Thank You

Omg. Jfk's car and Lincolns chair sent chills down my spine. Very sobering indeed. Thank you so much for making some of the most excellent videos l have seen in a long time.

loved it!! so happy there was none of that background noise or sound effects!! The show sold on interest alone!!

My grandfather has restored cars. My favorite car was a Chevrolet from 1921. It was so beautiful. He did everything himself, it was unbelievable. RIP Opa Thanks for the video 👍😉

This place is well worth the time and effort! And definitely worth the cost. The museum and the village and you have several days of activities. When I lived in Michigan we would visit several times a year and never get tired of the place.

Thanks for the video. Exceptionally done! Looks like a different place from when my dad took me there in the early 60's.

Such a great video bud!!! I never would've guessed all that is in there. I thought it was going to be just Fords. Love the old signage too

I grew up in Dearborn in the 60's and 70's. I tended bar at Lovett Hall for weddings for a few years 40 years ago. Spent many late night evenings walking around the museum after the weddings let out. It was eerie walking through that place late at night.

Darn, Chris, just when it really gets interesting, you run out of time. I could watch these videos for hours. God Bless and stay safe, thanks for sharing.

No doubt you could spend most of the day wondering around this museum, you've shown some very interesting items and filmed them at a reasonable speed without rushing and moving on before the viewer can focus on each object

wow what a cool tour! many thanks for bringing us along!

wow what an amazing place. i wish i could go all that history under one roof. sadly i live to far away to go but im so happy you took us along and showed us what was there. just wow ty. hugs and love :D

Your videos are fantastic but this one is beyond incredible, this place is now on my bucket list.

God bless you for showing and visiting this museum. Thank you.

My husband and I grew up in Oakland County Michigan. We always knew Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum were special, but never truly realized it until we moved to Atlanta for a new career. One of the most favorite times of year to visit, was during Halloween and Christmas. There is always trick or treating for the children at the many homes in the village. Jack o Lanterns decorate the porches, and it’s a spooky evening. Christmas is even better, Ice skating, vendors selling roasted chestnuts, rides in vintage Fords, and most every home is decorated for Christmas in the style of that particular home. The museum is a wonderful place as well. We try to visit whenever we’re back in Michigan. We made the best decision for us when we moved to Atlanta, but there’s no place like home.

This is really spectacular video! It's as if I'm wandering through the museum. Henry Ford would have loved this display. Very nice narration, too. The narrator's got a great, clear voice for this kind of documentary.

Hi Chris - You bring History right into my livingroom. Thanks

We really enjoy your videos! New subscriber here from Nashville TN. Keep up the great work!

i grew up about 10 minutes from here and I have so many great memories of this place. i used to LOVE being able to see the oscar meyer weiner mobile back before it was placed behind the partitions. there used to be a small display where you could lay inside of a bun and put big padded pieces of ketchup, mustard, and relish on top of you to look like a hotdog. Also, fun fact about the Lincoln chair, most people think that the darker marks on back of the chair are blood but they are actually hair wax. I also went to school about 15 minutes from here and my 2nd grade teacher was almost hit by the Rosa Parks bus when they were loading it in while she worked there before becoming a teacher. I had no idea how culturally significant the Abe Lincoln chair and JFK’s car were until fairly recently. I just had an opportunity to visit again for the first time in a few years and it never fails to fascinate me.

The CP snowplow you saw, is like ones used today. Many different designs for different regions. KZfaq has many videos showing various plows in use. They are a sight to see, in actual use. Just stay clear, as snow can fly far, as these plows are sometimes used at higher speeds. The Kennedy limo, looked different, when he was shot. It was in open air mode, like a convertible, rather than it was seen in your video. Notice, as time goes on, more and more safety is incorporated into the Presidential limos. A very neat place to visit. Thanks for the video.

Fascinating place! I could spend days in that place. So much gusto and beautiful machines!

Thanks for the tour and thanks for the smooth filming.

It on my bucket list to go to that museum. Thanks for a little taste of what is there.

Some history on the horse-drawn taxi cabs would have been nice also you may not have known or wondered why there were telephones in the Henry Ford museum, but Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were best buddies and had houses built next to one another as vacation homes in Fort Myers. Nice video.

Visited this incredible museum a few years back & was astounded by the exhibits they have on show. To see the Kennedy assassination Lincoln was breathtaking, as was the theatre seat Abe was relaxing in when he was killed. I was thinking ‘how on earth do you source these things?!’. The bus Rosa Parks rode in when she refused to give up her seat to a white person was another stunning exhibit. The unbelievable array of classic cars, & trucks… the neon signs, it’s actually overwhelming how much incredible stuff is on show. After that I went out to see Greenville, which was another mind blowing experience! To buy all those historic buildings, dismantle them, ship them to the museum site & then rebuild them exactly as they were is just extraordinary. It’s without doubt the best, most interesting museum I have ever visited - by a country mile!

I guess the Henry Ford Museum is the equivalent of the Louvre to us mechies. I am rather surprised that you didn't run across an old Ford Tri-Motor. Way cool, thank you for taking us along with you.

Thank you kindly, for the tour.

Thank you for this fascinating tour! I could possibly spend a few days in there!!!

I highly recommend this museum to all. Im going back when i can. I ate at that diner its nice

Just wasn’t long enough! Lol. Great video!

Wow, Chris, I really enjoyed this. My inner techno-geek especially enjoyed the wall of telephones. The vintage electric cars were especially interesting to me and isn't it remarkable that people were building electric cars long before Tesla came along? I think I said this in a previous reply comment to you, but I got quite a kick out of the vintage cars from the days before cookie-cutter, look alike models became the new normal. I'm * still * waiting for tail fins to make comeback...

Hi Chris - You are my Favorite KZfaqr... Keep taking us along.

Thank You for this, going to add this place to my list of must go and see.

Me and family went to Henry Ford museum back in the 60s . really good food at the diner and cheap too . Greenfield village was really nice too.

Watched from Jamaica, amazing.

Last time I was there, they had one of the Wright Bros. planes. And yes, viewing the Lincoln Chair is surreal. Gives me an odd feeling every time. Definitely recommend going if you’re visiting Metro Detroit.

I believe that 2016 Ford GT was the original car that one at le-mans in 2016, and has not been cleaned since they want to show/preserve the fact that it raced and won

I was just there with my sister this past weekend. We saw those presidential and other classic cars. It also displays old machinery, old trains, etc.This is my very FIRST visit there. I NEVER been there. It's a very good place. Someday, when I get back my transportation, I will come back to this place.

Can't believe there's a New Holland Twin Flow combine in there! What an amazing museum.

Thank you for sharing this with us.I've wanted to tour there,but have not been able.I'm less than 2 hours from there,but...life happens...T.Y.again.

Snowplows the same as the CP one were in use in Upper Michigan all the time until the railroads folded a couple of decades ago. They needed those when the average snowfall is over 25 feet.

What a great, fantastic and awesome video. Watching this video convinced me to visit Detroit. Many thanks for this upload 🙂.

A fantastic video. Thanks a lot, Colin UK 🇬🇧.

Nice video for sure! I do believe I will have to check that out when I get there in a few weeks. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the look inside a place I'll probably never get to. Being a Mainer I got a kick out of seeing the Cole's Express truck.

I’d love to see this museum someday!

Wow you make beautiful videos here. Awesome. The presidential cars were very nice to see. Thank you for showing us.

Thanks for the video dude

Thanks for sharing this amazing place.

Interesting! Thanks, Chris!

I have visited 5 times over the years and love it more every time.

Hi Chris - Who knew these museums existed?? I didn't... now I want to go see them myself!!

I went to the museum back in 1999. So many things to see, but I distinctly remember the limousine Kennedy was shot in and the letter Clyde Barrow wrote to Henry Ford saying how he liked their V8 cars because of how fast they went.

I took my boys to the Henry Ford museum when they were kids in fact we went to the last game played at Tiger stadium so that's how long ago but what a experience at the museum to do justice it would take days to explore think we did maybe four hours. i'd love to go back someday.

The GT40 Mark IV is a GT40. The Mark IV is also known as the "J" car, corresponding to Appendix J for the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race rule set. If I'm not mistaken, Appendix J was removed for the 1968 Le Mans race. Thus going back to the Mark II's and also dropping the motor displacement from 6997cc(427cid) to 4942cc(302cid). The 2016 Ford GT is the LMGTE Pro class winning car. The Mark IV is the overall race winner and the 1967 equivalent of modern day Prototype race cars. The 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans saw the last year for 2 classes of Prototype cars and 2 classes of GT cars.

Great video!!!! I would love to visit this place.

Wow cool place. A must to visit!

I grew up going to this museum and I went again a few years ago. I love going during the spring or summer and spend one day at the museum then the next day at Greenfield village. I want to go to other museums around the US as well. I did travel to Tennessee for the Titanic museum but that's it.

An excellent tour , I'd love to make a thorough tour of it myself . I saw Kennedy's Assassination car in a museum at Niagra, Canada, in 1966.

I been there a few times great history. Hope u liked it ;) I'm pretty sure they change up the exhibit bc I don't think they had the president's vehicles but not sure. The stories these items could tell, if items could talk, lol.

The Locomotive has been their as long as I can remember. Oh and the gift shop had neat stuff including Rock Candy. Michigan doesn't get big snowfalls anymore

Really interesting video! Thanks for posting.

Thats a great and absolutely interessting Museum. Thanks. Best wishes from Germany

Very nice job my friend

Glad you made it.

GREAT museum !

I was lucky enough to see the newly restored Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 steam through my local area here in MN a few days ago. It shook the ground and the whistle and noise were deafening.

Big Ford fan love ❤️ your video mate 🏁🇦🇺

Amazing. Love it.

You were there just after the Maker Faire. You really should check out the fair for 2020. There was just so much to see and not enough time in the day to see it all.

the locomotive is amazing , love to see it fired up

Awesome video!!!

"Kinda looks like the Ford GT40 but this is the LeMans racecar"... PARDON?

I grew up in Metro Detroit and the Henry Ford Museum was a popular spot for field trips.

Thank you awesome video

Ok this is off the chain awesome.♡

if you like trains go to Steamtown in Scranton Pa

The 1961 Lincoln Continental that Kennedy was shot is was dark blue, Kennedy's favorite color. Everybody should know that!

I had no idea that the Kennedy limousine continued to be used until 1977! I thought for sure it was locked away immediately, waiting for a museum someday..

Very nice sir, thank you

Nicely done! Man's voice was clear, unhurried, succinct. Camera was steady and unhurried.

Fantastic place!
