My original plan was to spend 1.5 hours inside the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, Michigan. That was also the time estimate given to me by a friend who had been to the museum before. I thought that sparing 1.5 hours would be enough to roam around the one-floor museum, see the exhibits, and learn its history. Oh boy, I was wrong. The 1.5 hours turned to almost 3 hours! Time ran so fast when I was enjoying every display of vehicle inside the 49,000 sq.m. indoor complex. Being the largest indoor-outdoor museum complex in the United States, I completely underestimated the time.

The Henry Ford Museum that houses historic automobiles was named after the business magnate, Henry Ford, the founder of the Ford Motor Company.

After paying $29 (admission fee of $23 plus parking $6), I asked for a map of the museum so I won’t miss anything interesting. Then I was told to go through a long hallway to get to the entrance of the museum.

The open layout of the museum was not hard to follow. I started at the exhibits in the right corner of the building then made my way through every interior display, zigzagging most of the time.

Below, I listed all (almost) the historic cars and vehicles that you would see inside the Henry Ford Museum. This list of vehicles would give you a sense of appreciation of how amazing this museum is. Also, the Henry Ford Museum is more than just cars. So when you visit, expect to see other types of locomotives, aircraft, and even Ford’s personal collections of historic objects that date back to the early 1900s.
