RVing to The Henry Ford Museum

I went RVing to Ohio and stayed there for three days, it was fun. I got to fish and to play baseball.

When you are RVing full time, you get to see lots of cool stuff.

On one of the days we were RVing in Ohio, we went to The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, it was awesome.

I learned that Henry Ford invented the Ford Motor Company.  It became very successful and is still very successful today.

He had two other companies named the Henry Ford Company and Detroit Auto Company. These companies shut their doors from 6 months to a year at times.

At Greenfield Village, he made his own village based on people who changed America. He was one of those people too.

We got to ride in a real model T, which was a car that Henry Ford invented…

My favorite part of Greenfield Village was the Thomas Edison exhibit, I was very happy to actually see his laboratories and offices and to learn how he researched inventions.

In these offices, he started his company and brought electric light to the world.

He had workshops with all kinds of tools in them like this one…

We also saw other stuff like the bus that Rosa Parks was arrested in and I learned about Civil Rights.

Also when we were in Ohio, my Dad met one of his friends Mark.

I had a fun time RVing in Ohio and Michigan, I would like to go back and catch a big fish next time.

      I kept thinking about your rave reviews throughout the whole trip there Uncle Bob! It was awesome. Amazing to see Edisons workshop, the limo JFK was assassinated in, Rosa Parks bus, Henry Fords first 4 wheeled invention the quadricycle and so much more. Totally awesome.

    It sounds like you had a great time at the Henry Ford Museum and I would like to get there sometime. One of the highlights of my summer so far was eating sushi with your dad at Wasabi in Montrose, Ohio. Stay safe my friends!
