The Henry Ford (also known as the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation and Greenfield Village, and as the Edison Institute) is a history museum complex in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan, United States. The museum collection contains the presidential limousine of John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln's chair from Ford's Theatre, Thomas Edison's laboratory, the Wright Brothers' bicycle shop, the Rosa Parks bus, and many other historical exhibits. It is the largest indoor-outdoor museum complex in the United States and is visited by over 1.7 million people each year. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969 as Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1981 as "Edison Institute".
The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation began as Henry Ford's personal collection of historic objects, which he began collecting as far back as 1906. Today, the 12 acre (49,000 m²) site is primarily a collection of antique machinery, pop culture items, automobiles, locomotives, aircraft, and other items:
The museum features a 4K digital projection theater, which shows scientific, natural, or historical documentaries, as well as major feature films. Some of the major exhibits include :
An Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.
The 1961 Lincoln Continental, SS-100-X in which President John F. Kennedy was riding when he was assassinated.
The rocking chair from Ford's Theatre in which President Abraham Lincoln was sitting when he was shot by John Wilkes Booth.
George Washington's camp bed.
A collection of several fine 17th- and 18th-century violins including a Stradivarius.
Thomas Edison's alleged last breath in a sealed tube.
Buckminster Fuller's prototype Dymaxion house.
The bus on which Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat, leading to the Montgomery bus boycott.
Igor Sikorsky's prototype helicopter.
Fokker Trimotor airplane that flew the first flight over the North Pole.
Bill Elliott's record-breaking race car clocking in at over 212 MPH at Talladega in 1987
Fairbottom Bobs, the Newcomen engine
A steam engine from Cobb's Engine House in England.
A working fragment of the original Holiday Inn "Great Sign"
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway 2-6-6-6 "Allegheny"-class steam locomotive #1601, built by Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio. The Allegheny was the third most-powerful steam locomotive ever built, after the Union Pacific Railroad "Big Boy" 4-8-8-4 locomotive and the Pennsylvania Railroad Q2-class 4-4-6-4 locomotive.
Toyota Prius sedan, the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle.
Behind the scenes, the Benson Ford Research Center uses the resources of The Henry Ford, especially the photographic, manuscript and archival material which is rarely displayed, to allow visitors to gain a deeper understanding of American people, places, events, and things. The Research Center also contains the Ford Motor Archives.
I love history and this was FASINATING!!! THANK YOU for that. I am am eldery disabled person from Florida, who cant travel and I am a HUGE fan of your channel. Live, learn, laugh and love!! PEACE!! SHANNON
I love how you have so much respect for Detroit. You are always welcome!
I was in Detroit back in 2015 from Australia loved Detroit loved Henry Ford Museum, and loved seeing AC/DC at Ford Field.. Mackinac Island was amazing too, I know I spelt it wrong..
@@rodneykiwko5220 AC/DC at Ford Field sounds amazing! Thanks for showing Detroit some love. I need to visit Australia one day. It seems beautiful!
The museum is super cool. I had no idea the chair was saved. A little morbid but wow what a piece of history. So much cool stuff there.
His chair his 🎩 and jacket
They had his hat and coat too?!
I live an hour from the border and have been to The Henry Ford museum several times. Always something new to learn and discover. 🇨🇦🇺🇲
It was an absolute pleasure Scott... Til then, take care...🙏🏿
I dig yelling, hanging out and taking us al0ngfor the ride . Thanks, guys!!!!
Love it when you and Adam can get together you guys should start a podcast together for real though 🤠
As a fellow Michigander you made me want to visit the Henry Ford museum.I haven’t been since I was a kid. Amazing History 😊
I love this, because many of us don't get to see this kinda stuff. Thank you Scott for doing what you do. Much appreciation as always.
Delightful tour of such a diverse museum. Always nice when a museum has exhibits that you can get so close to & interact with, as you so adorably demonstrated with your cooking "skills" in Julia Child's kitchen. The Civil Rights exhibits are emotional to see and while it is hard to comprehend all the injustice that has occurred, is a part of our history that needs addressed. Colin & his grandparents are just too precious. Take care.
Absolutely amazing Scott! I can't tell you how much We appreciate the effort's you put into your posts! You have taken and shown us some amazing places & things Bro. To see the chair that President Lincoln was shot in at Fords Theater that just blew my mind that it still existed. Scott We sure enjoy your impeccable timing & humor in your vlogs lol absolutely a blast friend. Luv&Peace Sean&family. Cheers to continued success friend. 😊✌🏼🤝🏼
Loved this video! I totally relate to your feelings about racism. I went to a Catholic high school, and those awful people burned a cross on our front lawn. Love your videos, Scott, as always ❤️
😂 hello darkness my old friend. Your humor is why I keep coming back.
You're an amazing human. You know when to be respectful, humorous, happy, sad, etc. All your emotions are so appropriately displayed!
I appreciate that thank you so much Roxanne 😊
Scott than you for taking us places most of us can’t go I really appreciate it !❤
Scott I loved how you took the time to talk to that boy at the end and let him finish talking and not cut the camera off like Adam does you 😂 Your such a nice guy. Love watching your videos they make my day. See you on the next one and until then "peace out."
Haha thank you and Adam and I have that as a running joke , I know he’s going to cut me off lol. Thank you for watching !!
Your welcome, if it wasn't for me watching Steve the graveyard guy 3 years ago I probably would have never heard of you. I seen you on one of his vlogs and then became one of your viewers. Thanks for all of the laughs. 😜
This is such an interesting museum. Thanks, Scott, for taking us all on this tour with you. Another great video!!
Thanks! Two great RUclipsrs together filming the Woo an Scott can cool a viewer recognize you , Scott .great video 📷📷 as always
Aww thank you so much and thank you for your generosity!
Been there many years ago great museum with great history! Love your Scott you do a fabulous job with all your videos. And your so respectful when you visit people’s graves ! Take care and be safe !!!❤
Thank you so much Mr. Museum Director. You did a great job describing everything. So good, for a minute there I thought you were a pro. doing the vlog. You were excellent as a Julia Child, you knew all the cooking utensils and what was in the oven. No one else knew it was a dried cup cake. Don'r quit your day job. Luv u, you make my day.
Adam The Woo sent me!
Entertaining, interesting things. This reminds me of when we're in grade school taking a field trip. Now I understand why the teacher's job was difficult trying to keep us together. I still have thar original Simon. Great ending.
I love your videos with Adam. You two are so funny together. You have such a great friendship. What I really like and am impressed with is the depth and breadth of your knowledge on so many diverse subjects. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
My grandpa retired from Ford and would take me to the Henry Ford all the time as a kid, as well as the Ford Headquarters for lunch at the cafeteria. He lived in Dearborn off Ford and Telegraph. Thank you for this respectful look at one of the coolest collections of historic items that nobody ever talks about
Just love the videos where you walk and ad lib. "This section is all about mathematics. If you love mathematics...but we'll go this way." Great job today.
😂😂😂same
I think this is probably the most entertaining video of yours. I laughed so hard at the art Garfunkel joke lol
Haha thank you !
Me too😆
Came across your channel today. Have been binging. Cemeteries are so interesting and hauntingly beautiful. My mother used to go to them so she could make rubbings of the ornate tomb covers.
Thank you for your empathy and sensitivity when you were in the Civil Rights section.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
What an incredible museum and tour! Now I want to see it in person. When you got to the civil rights section, I found myself just pausing in a bit of disbelief. I have no words. What horrendous and horrible treatment of our fellow human beings. Seeing the displays in your video really brought it home. Made me want to cry. The Rosa Parks bus and Lincoln's chair, two more awful and unimaginable acts. I think history has a whole different meaning when you're an adult then it did when we learned about it in school. I never liked history in school but now I can't get enough of it. Scott, you looked like you belong in that kitchen. It's totally you. Thank you for the comedic act following that very sad civil rights section. It was definitely needed. I think with the fly swatters, they need to line up the flies over the years too because I think they've grown and evolved with the swatters. They're huge these days 😆It's nice to see all of your viewers young and old. Go Collin. May all of your wishes come true. I think your well on the way of making it happen! Great video Scott. So much to see. I could write a book off of your video alone lol. Amazing!!
Thank you Flo! Collin definitely has a bright future ahead of him. What a great kid
I totally agree Miss Flo... I would love to see all those things in person... Great job Scott...
If you’re interested in American history, visiting this museum is a must. I thoroughly enjoyed going there.
I used to live in Oak Park about 20 minutes away by highway. I love the Henry Ford and Greenfield Village. I used to Greenfield Village during Halloween and Christmas. I love both places.
My dad and my uncles were chefs at the Holiday Inn. it was an awesome place to hang out at in the summer
I love everything Michigan, Henry Ford Museum has been on my list for years and have never had time while im near it to go. My mom is originally from Jackson Mi.
Thanks you know you're old when your your childhood toys are in a museum somewhere
It is just unthinkable that people should separate themselves from one another, to get another's point of view is to learn, and that is what each of us should be doing on our journey that we have been given to achieve. I loved my mother's saying I can smile in any accent....love and peace to everyone
Awesome video, I had my four children watch this video on the good history and the bad history of racism that was shown in this video. It was nice for you to share with us your experience there for some of is that will never be able to make it. Thank you again sir and stay safe.
I was pleased that fellow museum goers within earshot picked up on your humor. I was in Dallas on that fateful November day, however, I will not confess to being on the grassy knoll.
Thank you Scott.❤You make history so much fun.
This museum is so full of history. I can't believe Adam is running from your friendship.😂 The civil rights part was beautiful its come to light that Rosa as important as she was not the first woman of color to not give up her seat.Fifteen-year-old Claudette Colvin refuses to give up her seat on a segregated bus. A full nine months before Rosa Parks's
Awesome, tyfs great video plus the humor on point 😂❤
It's very sweet how you include your viewers in your video. I'd love to go to this museum early morning, hopefully while it's not too crowded yet, and just sit at the back of that Rosa Parks bus for a while and count my gratitudes.
Nice! Just finished Adam's video! Also, you are one heck of a Detroit tour guide btw! Hopefully, there will be a part two.
Wow, amazing Scott! I’m from California, haven’t been to Detroit, but will have to make a trip to see that wonderful place & that cool museum. So many amazing things to see there, a lot of history, and some I have the same views on as you, but it’s history, not our best history, but one for young generations to learn from and never repeat! Much respect & love to you & all you do Scott!
Sauce boy and biscuits on the bow. Scott you are a fun guy. Thank you for showing us this museum. 1970 Chevelle Red. Well i had a Blue 71 with half vinyl top. Loved it. Good taste Colin. Amazing how much is there in this place. I'll never get there so its even more important. Thanks Adam for introducing Scott to us years ago. Long time fan. Im still hoping to one day see yall in Athens GA. My mom and Dad attended University of Georgia in the 50s. After that they moved to Ignatio, Colorado and i was born in Durango (Dad was from Trinidad Colorado) they moved back to GA early 60s and Dad was Commandant of Cadets (Gordon Military School in Barnesville GA. Then became Head Counselor at Druid Hills High School near Emory University) He actually was able to start Duel emrollment for students attending high school but also able to take college courses. My brother was one of the first to do this. Scott you never disappoint. I love your humor and quick wittiness. I learn so much from watching your videos. Thank you always. Safe travels to you both. See ya real soon Scott and Adam
This is a history lesson. Thank you for showing us these pieces of America's past. This is better than a book.
So much to see at the museum! Awesome seeing you hang out with Adamthewoo again! When I saw him start a video talking about being in Detroit, I definitely thought of how close that is to Toronto, Ontario and wondered if there'd be any videos of you two together.
Omg Scott... I wish I knew you were going to be at Henry Ford Museum. I would have made it my business to come meet you. WOW!! 😮 They have remodeled and changed the whole look of the museum. This definitely bring back my childhood memories. Thanks for the tour Scott 😊
Next time Tatanisha! I love going to Detroit!
I visited this museum in 2005. Being from Australia seeing all this history was amazing. Thank you for the recent tour.
Love The Henry Ford Museum. I was there when I was young. Too young to remember most of it. So, I'm psyched you did a trip there!! Thank you for this awesome upload!! Loved it!!! 😊
When I was a kid, my dad did a weekly TV show from the Henry Ford Museum. It was called The Exciting Years and was about the development of technology. He got free passes to the Museum and the village. We went there all the time. My sister worked there every summer from high school through college, spinning and weaving. That was back when everything in the village was running. You could get a wedding tintype or buy beautiful hand blown items, hand woven table clothes. You could watch the Lincoln Douglas debates and there were wandering minstrels, medicine shows. It was amazing.
Love seeing the different perspectives of the same place when you and Adam film together. Both wonderful in their own ways!
I love it when you go on those walks and just do commentary to yourself 😂❤
Ahhh, good Ole Michigan. I miss living there!!! Some of my best times were in Michigan. I lived 30 miles from Detroit!!! Used to go there all the time!!! And Windsor!
Wow, so many mind blowing exhibits in there. Just love your commentary. Cheers
My two favorite people (well, love Ron, too) together again! ❤
Adam the Woo!! A crossover I’d never thought would exist!
Thanks for your videos. Awesome. Loved seeing both Adam and you in Metro Detroit where I live. You both do an excellent job at what you do. Great seeing you both together.
A+++ 5 Stars!
Awesome tour, loved everything retro. Takes me back, it was fun to be brought up in the 60's - 80's. Thanks for all your cooking tips Scott ! Kudos to u Scott & Adam the Wooooooo !
This is great, it's a place we may not be able to get to this lifetime so getting to see it is wonderful. My husband agrees with you on cars, he says all he knows is that they have an engine, 4 wheels, and an insurance payment. *I* am the car nut in the family, love, love, love them. Used to work on my own back when they had carburetors and such. Used to work on my dirt bike too. If you ever go places, go to Amarillo and head south 15 miles to Canyon. The Panhandle Plains Museum is a huge museum with a lot of Texas cultural things. Then, go east out of Canyon to Palo Duro Canyon.
My dad was a chef and my uncle, at the Holiday Inn. It was a Awesome Place to hang out at the Y not lounge here in Orlando
As always, another gem. Thanks again Scott and very much appreciated!!
Loved seeing you and Adam together. I watch him also! Thank you for taking us along. I’d love to see that museum very very cool. Thank you Peace out
I'm proud of how you feel about racism. Rosa parks is my hero and I'm not black
Hi scott love this video its nice to see all the stuff as i never get to see it love the way you also though in some of your funny bits and comments you do crack me up 😂 😂 thank you for all the hard effort you put into your video's love regards and repect from dublin ❤
What an adorable little boy..greetings from across the pond! 🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧
Tonight, I have a layover in Detroit. Perfecting timing for this video. 👍
Saw you on Sauce Boy's vlog! Great tour - thanks 🙏 Love your sense of fun!
Born & raised in suburbs of Detroit, but been gone almost 50 yrs, been a couple times to museum…great places.
As much as I love and respect all your "serious" videos, it's oh! so much fun when you break out one of those "La Brea Tar Pits on the Bow" vintage Scott sense of humour jocular filled tour-de-forces such as this. Damn you - I can't rid Garfunkel's Fro from my mind's eye. But...Very interesting and quite the fresh breeze of wind I needed today! This place looks amazing. Thanx for taking us on that tour. Looks like Adam had a good time as well. I'll have to check his video out now. Until the next one, take care, My Friend.
La Brea Tar Pits on the Bow lolol that sums up the fun videos perfectly
OMG I've been after my husband to go here for a long weekend!! Thank you!!!!
This place says it all it's amazing.
Love the Henry Ford! Looking at having my wedding reception here next year!
It was so cool to run into you! We got rained out of other plans and o so glad we did! I had just watched a few of your videos the night before, so it was crazy seeing you in the flesh. You are an awesome story teller and do such an amazing job with respecting all the locations you visit. You are just as cool and nice in person! I wish I could have followed you through to listen to you! Keep up the awesome work and thanks for including me in the video!
Lol “I’ll be famous” too funny…great one lots to see there thanks for sharing ❤️👍👍
Thank you from a fan in Michigan❤
Been there when I was in the USA back in 2015.. Loved the Henry Ford Museum and loved Detroit.. Saw AC/DC at Ford Feild that was fantastic.
I love this video. Thank you for sharing. Thanks for the laughs. I will sure be going to the Henry Ford Museum in the near future.
I grew up in Dearborn in the 60's and 70's. I tended bar for wedding functions at the museums Lovett Hall Ballroom in the early 80's. A lot of people talk about seeing the big allegheny locomotive, Kennedy's limo, Lincoln's chair....but many fail to spot the most valuable things in that museum. The Henry Ford Museum has not one, but two stradivarius violins in the musical showcase.
This is so interesting..Great history..When I read and see films on how ignorance, people were makes me ashamed of being a human. I saw a film they other day and it shocked me and made me so mad how horrible it was..Great video Scott.xx
Scott most of the videos I’ve watched of you are serious. Didn’t realize you were soo funny. Nice to see the light heartiness.
Thank you Jill!
Really enjoyed this Scott. Thanks so much!! Love your humor
The Awesomeness Continues!! 👍👌😎👊✊😎🍁
You could spend a week in that museum looking around. Amazing stuff. The horses ass I lost it 😅
I dig it when you are at a location where you can share your awesome sense of humor!
Get along with everyone, that way you meet good people and food . 👍👍👍👍
You should do stand up man, you crack me up! *cheers*
If I had a chair I might consider it😂😂
Thank you for the mini tour!! Growing up my school would do field trips to the museum and the village, so interesting. I haven't been there in over 30 yrs now. I really got to get my boys and go!
Ah Scott such a good guy, gives all of time to fans, friends and his many viewers, thanks buddy.
Wish the weather would've been better for you too! Appreciate your channel 💯
Wait!! Art Garfunkel lmfao😂😂😂 I love your since of humor

Enjoyed the museum Scott! Thanks for taking us along! You in the kitchen - sorry, but I did laugh out loud!
Thank you for this, it is on my bucket list but I take care of my parents and I live in Oregon and it would be really hard for me to travel, so thanks again for showing us around. Great video as always.
Fantastic tour buddy, especially liked the Lincoln chair. That looks like blood to me man! 🩸
Great video Scott, i love that Adam the Woo has been in your last few videos. I've watched his videos with you in it these last few days. Love you two together, great team. ❤❤
