- Come along for an unforgettable tour of the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan to see presidential vehicles, the chair President Lincoln was shot in, the Wright Brothers Plane, Rosa Parks bus, and more!
This would be dream to visit
Fun fact: The Allegheny was one of the most powerful steam locomotives ever built. Producing nearly 7500 horsepower and weighing in at over 1.2 million pounds. They could be seen hauling coal trains as heavy as 10,000 tons through the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia (which the locomotives were named after).
Hi Tomm,I am from India,visited this museum and Factory in 2017 , excellent opportunity
Reminds me of when for the FIRST time I visited the Henry Ford MUSEUM IN THE 80'S AND THE CUTTING HAS CHANGED,
CONGRATULATIONS
Re: The airplane, you called it a Ford “Trim-a-tor” I hate to contradict you but it’s pronounced Tri-motor, because it had 3 motors. The Ford Trimotor
Was an amazing machine. Other than that, I enjoyed the tour very much, especially the Lincoln chair. Thanks for the post, traveling was not easy back in the 19th Century!
I was there on a middle school field trip back around 2006.
Thanks, Tom, we did enjoy. Thanks for visiting Pure Michigan! Safe Travels.
Wonderful job, Tom, thank you! I was there once a long while ago and you got it! I am motivating my grandchildren to go there. thank you once again!
You have to be from out of town to visit Greenfield Village! I lived in the Detroit area and was probably there a half dozen times. It was always on my agenda of a place i will visit this year that seldom happened.
I was just there and now watching your video i see i missed a lot
I'll be there next week coming from Miami FL ♥️♥️
I went there for our 6th grade trip years ago. It was a fun experience to see that stuff they had there. I remember that beast of a train very well.
Absolutely mindblowing!
thanks for showing us the story
Thanks for share
I love that place! But I haven’t been there in a while.. It’s great there!
Gracias saludos desde Colombia
The C&O "Allegheny" type no. 1601 is a massive locomotive to observe & is one of the most powerful types of steam locomotives ever built. I would really like to visit this museum in order to observe the 1601 up close in heavy detail.
Great museum! Thank you for a good video
Thanks Tom, enjoyed the tour!
Thanks Tom , great video ! All we need is a time machine..
Hoping to bring back the Great Escape Weekend back to Henry Ford Museum like they did it back in 1983 to 1986, it was a popular event back then, but I don't know why they took it off. It features the 1890s, 1920s, 1940s and the 1950s as the selected decades for the Great Escape Weekends. I went to some events during the 4 years run, before moving to Bremerton Washington from Dearborn Michigan in the summer of 1986. In 1987, The Henry Ford no longer have the Great Escape Weekend event anymore.
Was it free to walk in
No
What was called a rotary engine was actually a turbine engine, a type of jet engine that Chrysler experimented with in the 1960s.
So surprised Lincoln's chair is not in the Ford's Theater museum or here in Springfield IL at our A Lincoln Museum. Strange place for it to be in Mich. in a car museum. "Good old Abraham Lincoln" ah-hem....President Abraham Lincoln. We need to get that taken to Ford's Theater where it belongs. Wonder what the back story is on that acquisition. That being said, vlog interesting but a bit disjointed. We were searching along with you. Thanks for the views.
From what I understand, after Lincoln's assassination, the FBI took the chair from Mr. Ford as evidence to a murder. There are stories that the Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton, housed the chair in his office for a while. No matter what, the chair sat in the basement of the Smithsonian for quite some time. While under Smithsonian control, Lincoln's chair sadly withstood some water damage and was possibly forgotten by the curators and staff of the museum. After John T. Ford's death, his wife retrieved the chair from the Smithsonian as it was her private property, not the government's. Shortly after re-acquisition, Mrs. Ford held an auction for the chair (the stock market crash in 29 may have played a role in that) and one of Henry Ford's agents bought the chair and the rest is history.
@@QualTunII Thank you for the info I truly appreciate finding that out. I am stunned that such an important piece of history was passed over especially by the folks here in
Springfield who one would think would want any and all artifacts. The Ford Theater should have been another entity searching for and fighting for the "chair." I intend to inquire further @our Lincoln Museum here and see what they say. I'll be happy to let you know.

The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village is A LOT more than just a "car museum"... The Smithsonian is the gold standard of course, but the HFM & GV are one of America's premier "Americana artifact" museums... And that Lincoln Chair is one of their prize exhibits... there's no way the HFM will ever give that up...
That Stephensons Rocket is an official replica and is one of a few built in England.
I went there 5 months ago
Person man this be good video
how long does it take to see the museum? greenfield village? I have 8 hrs sunday and 4hrs monday in detroit then flying home. Can I see the museum and village both? how do I split it up...was going to spend 9:30-5pm greenfield village and next day 9:30-1:30 museum ..is that enough time?

The huge train is what i remember most.
Used to go here all the time with my parents, back in the late 50's-early 60's. Very cool place. Okay, I'll bite: who's Skip Smith?
An old man I give a hard time to
@@TomHallOnline Oh, okay!
Spent three days there in 2014 and still didn't see it all.
Dearborn Michigan is named after my ancestor Henry Dearborn :D

i live in michigan have a step family i live in macomb and clinton township
IM IN SHADES CAHBHA AND WERE LEARNING ABOUT. (henry ford
Its a Ford TRI MOTOR. What is a trimidor? Also if you don't know the Kennedy car roof was added after he was shot. I does not go down. I never did. At least not in the present state. O and yeah they had no bullet proof glass in cars in 1901 when Theodore Roosevelt was president. It is true that bullet proof glass was around in the 1700s but it was not put into a car until 1920. FYI. Its Greenfield Village not Springfield as well. Not hating just saying get your facts straight.
Listen, i do these ad lib, on the spot. I walk, and I talk. Have you ever attempted this? I never profess to be an expert, do my best. You?
I dont think she knows Who was Henry Ford.....
Trimotor is phonetically pronounced "Try - motor"... Tri Motor.
Brougham is phonetically pronounced " Brome" ... Brougham.
Certainly a clean manicured finger nail pencil pusher in the wrong museum nor someone mechanically associated to the industry.
You did a nice job……but…..”Ford Trim-a-tor”??? Try-Motor.
Black people build the cars
Black people don't matter
* It is a pity that the Narrator is Ignorant. Misinformation and Triviality instead of Concentrating on FACTS. Belittling pieces of History as he Failed to Read clearly or even READ Info plaques.. Tom Hall should have Done VOICE-Over on this for Fact & Clarity..
Are you really such an idiot?
@@TomHallOnline
Don't even reply to those kinds of posts...
I enjoyed it very much... Incredible museum!
