Whatever one’s feelings may be about Henry Ford, his legacy to the American public is tremendous, and his love of American history is well-documented. Part of this legacy may be found at the Henry Ford Museum complex, which contains a number of operational units, such as Greenfield Village and the Benson Ford Research Center. For those who might be unable to make the pilgrimage to Michigan, the Museum’s omnibus website will help bring some of the fine edifying material into their homes. For starters, there is the “Explore & Learn” area of the site, which contains a number of online exhibits such as a tour of the bus that carried Rosa Parks on her fateful trip in Montgomery and the “Innovators” exhibit, which profiles such Americans as Thomas Edison and R. Buckminster Fuller.
