Join Betsy Owens for an inspiring afternoon at the renowned Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, one of Michigan’s most celebrated cultural attractions. This unique experience combines history, innovation, and leisure as you explore exhibits that showcase the people and ideas that helped shape America.
The day begins with a docent-led tour highlighting some of the museum’s most notable artifacts and exhibits. Following the guided experience, guests will have time to continue exploring the museum independently and discover the collections that interest them most.
Among the museum’s many highlights are the historic Rosa Parks Bus, where Rosa Parks made her courageous stand that helped spark the Civil Rights Movement, and Buckminster Fuller’s futuristic Dymaxion House, the only remaining prototype of his innovative vision for the home of the future.
When ready for lunch, guests may visit the museum’s Plum Market Kitchen, which offers a variety of fresh, chef-crafted meals, sandwiches, salads, coffee, snacks, and specialty items. Lunch will be available for purchase on an individual basis. The venue also accommodates a variety of dietary preferences including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy- free options.
