- While in Dearborn for GoFurther, I had the opportunity to go to the Henry Ford Museum. I only got to walk around the first 25% of the whole museum. I saw the racing wing, the different camper vehicles, and the higher end cars of the 20's and 30's. It was then off to the Energy wing to see the generators that powered our towns over 100 years ago. A quick stop at the Wienermobile, then I saw some of the tractor equipment of the 1900's, including the prototype Ford tractor. bit.ly/MVCrS2

Born in 1966 5 years later taking apart my toys when I found a screwdriver to see how it worked yea interested. Had a lot of broken toys back then but understood how they worked. Today 53 years old dealing with emission systems on class 8 trucks and 3 data link systems on one truck a challenge. But to a simpler time more interesting than my daily grind.
It's always a fun time to check out. And yes - I took apart my toys, too. #thanks for the comment!
It's number 1 on my bucket list!!!!
It's a fun place!
One place everybody needs to go doesn’t matter if you care about cars or not there’s so many other things to look at
Great attempt 👍🏻
Iv been here and by im posting this at 1 am i went to it yesterday
Hope you had fun
I have a Lincoln Head somewhere in my house from when i went during the titanic exhibit.
That massive generator at a little after eight minutes in was designed by my grandfather's boss, my grandfather was his draftsman and put Edward Gray's 'plans to paper'. The flywheel weighs 100 tons, the entire engine weighs 750 tons. It was the first item brought into the museum, late 1920s. There were nine 'Gas-Steam' engines and two 'gas only engines in the power house by around 1917. The first engine was a 1400 hp engine built in Oil City, PA at Riverside Engine, where Edward Gray was first contacted by Henry Ford in 1909. At the end of the year Mr. Ford hired Gray away with a million dollar contract. My grandfather had worked there too and had been with Gray since 1906 there. There was a 5000 hp 'gas only' engine next before the nine 'Gas-Steam' engines were built- all but the first one in Hamilton, Ohio. Gray left his partner, Mr. Smithman, up a creek as Gray was the brains of Riverside so there would not be any building them there in Oil CIty! Gray was both Mr. Ford's Chief Engineer and Construction Engineer, working with Albert Kahn on the design of much of the Highland Park Model T plant.
PS: The date on the sign there is wrong- if you go online you'll see the correct date, it's more like 1916 but could be earlier, like 1915. I think all were finished before 1919 but that could be correct. See www.thehenryford.org/collections-and-research/digital-collections/artifact/167313
Great tour, thanks.
Robert Dambeck Welcome!
I’ve been to many different kinds of museums all over the world and I still consider this one of my favorite!! Also check out the museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton Ohio!
That huge generator at the 8th minute? My grandfather worked for the man that designed it- and as a draftsman probably drew up some of the plans for it.The story- www.flickr.com/gp/rushhourphoto/326o13
Paul Rentz Cool to hear!
Amazing piece of equipment
The steering wheel you refer to at 4:04 is called a"tiller."Just my 2cts.

Going there for Felid trip in 14 days
As usual I live maby 10 or 15 miles from it and haven't been there since I was in grade school im 60 now the cars are cool for sure but there is sooooo much more
We take for granted what we have locally sometimes. #Thankyou for the comment!
The 999 race car If I remember correctly has an open crankcase, no oil pan so it must be a dripper feed oil oil sytem
Cool! #Thankyou for that bit of information. Share more if you can!
Back in the year 2000 I restored a 1912 White Truck which had the original engine in it a 4 cylinder 360 cubic inch dripper oiling system an oil tank was mounted on the firewall with an oil line that ran down to feed three small plungers mounted on the side of the engine which were powered by the cam shaft These three plungers each had a separate line that pumped oil up to three glass tubes mounted on the dashboard which served as drippers, from each dripper ran a separate oil line which ran down and dripped oil on the three main bearings ,the connecting rod bearings were splash fed from oil slung off of the crankshaft. The oil did not circulate .So every time you checked the oil you pulled a metal rod that is connected to kind of a valve the side of the oil pan and drained off the excess oil ,years ago they filtered the excess oil and reuse it. So it was big cubic inches low R P M s because they had no pressurized oiling system to properly oil the engine for higher RPM s The truck was sold in 2008 to a High Tech School in Cleveland Ohio
how long does it take to go thru museum Henry ford museum? we will have half day sat ..sun to see ford rogue factory and greenfield village ..then leaving mon am
Depends. Last time I was there, I only had 2-3 hours. I could see spending a lot longer in certain areas.
I spent the entire day there and took a lunch break at the cafeteria half way through, definitely some place that you want to take your time and enjoy
hot dog mobile
stupid redicoulous music
When you go there make sure to see the Dymaxion House of Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller. It looks like an aluminum flying saucer. They spent a bundle restoring it and it now sits inside of the museum.
It would be cool to have in your backyard wouldn’t it
