| 2011Annual Meeting | ||
| The Henry Ford
Museum and Greenfield Village Dearborn, MI |
||
| .Wednesday May 18 thru Saturday May 21 | ||
| The Henry Ford is described as the "most significant collection of the American Experience ever assembled". The Henry Ford Museum began as Henry Ford's Personal collection of historic objects which he began collecting as far back as 1906. Today the sweeping single floor space with its 40 foot ceilings covers nine acres dedicated to preserving what Americans have imagined and invented. Greenfield Village is considered the largest outdoor museum in America. Entering Greenfield Village is like stepping into an 80 acre time machine. It takes you back to the sights, sounds, and sensations of America's past. There are 83 authentic historic structures, from Noah Webster's home, where he wrote the first American dictionary, to Thomas Edison's Menlo Park laboratory, to the courthouse where Abraham Lincoln practiced law. You can choose your lunch from an 1850s menu or spend a quiet moment pondering the home and workshop where the Wright Brothers invented the airplane. | ||
