We decided to turn our temple outing into a day trip. We visited the Henry Ford Museum and we were impressed. It is a United States history museum with an obvious focus on vehicles. Here are some highlights.
This was probably our favorite part of the museum. This is the bus that Rosa Parks rode on in 1955. The display and the significance of the events were very touching. 
This is the car that Kennedy was riding in when he was assassinated. I enjoyed the entire Presidential vehicles display. Also included was the car Reagan was riding in when he was shot.
It is hard to tell how big this train is, but take my word for it - massive!
This is the chair Lincoln was using at the Ford Theater when he was assassinated. They also had a bed George Washington is said to have used.
We'd really like to go on the Ford Factory tour and tour the Greenfield Village (both of which are connected to the museum). We'll save those for another day! (It is a lot of fun getting to know a new place.)
