Henry Ford Museum

On Saturday, we spent 8 hours at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI. It was a site to see. They have everything you can imagine in their museum. Steve was in Heaven. They had cars, airplanes, trains, furniture, and everything else that made history.
This is the actual bus that Rosa Parks sat on and refused to give up her seat for a white person.

Before the bus was bought by the museum, it was being used by an old man as a tool shed. He knew the significance of the bus, but didn't care. When he died, his children sold it at an auction and received $492,000 for their dad's "tool shed." It was then restored to mint condition.

I believe I've been to this museum. I think it was one of those stops on the way to Canada in college. The pictures brought back memories for me. It is a neat museum.
