Went to Detroit (home) over the past Mother’s Day weekend, and visited my favorite museum; however greenfield village is even more exciting.
Figured I’d share some photos of my visit.
Lots of steam engines!

I've always heard that the Ford Museum (and Greenfield) was an exceptional experience and most all the photos from there seem to confirm it.
Looks as though your nice photos tell the same story, so thanks for sharing!
Did you happen to notice if there is any display featuring Carl Edvard Johansson and his precision Gauge Blocks and how they allowed the creation of precision manufacturing starting around the beginning of the prior Century?
Ford, in cooperation with Johansson, had much to do with making those blocks available and affordable and thought Johansson was a true industrial hero!!!

I am sure they are there - there was a lot of stuff I missed. Didn’t have enough time to see everything.

Which one did you bring home?
I should’ve found time to get there when I went to NAMES, but didn’t realize at the time that it was my last trip to the show…
I love that museum, lots of older than dirt engines there. Great photos, thanks!

I wish! If it was up to me I’d bring home the C&O Allegheny steam locomotive, though I don’t know where I’d put it.

Did you see Rynda’s early Aultman Taylor there? He ended up with a second one after selling the first to the museum which is now at the show in Jordan.
Great photos. It's been 20 years since I was there and need to go back.The Edison lab is also fantastic along with this incredible Roper hot air engine from the 1870s--the only known example.
Great photos. I believe the Edison lab has one of the surviving electric dynamos from the Pearl Street station in NYC, the first electric generating station in the country. I saw it many years ago and was fascinated.
Very nice pictures - beautiful original size engines and models too
I would like to visit the Henry Ford Museum - just great
thanks - I am happy to have a model of the "Novelty" steam engine.
