Re: Henry Ford Museum exhibit

I visited the Henry Ford Museum when I was a young boy in the 1960’s. The museum grounds were well organized and very clean. I can’t imagine what it looks like now.

I objected to the changes made in the 1980’s, wherein a new “head” of the museum, had to express himself by wrecking decades of good tradition at the museum and village.

RE: Henry Ford Museum.
The outdoor Greenfield Village had a big rennovatin around 2000 and they actually moved many buildings to cluster them by area (railroad life, colonial....). Also fully paved sidwalks to wheelchair friendly. Still a great place.

Indoors, they shed dozens of cars (my favorite attraction) and rows of mundane, unexciting displays due to modern thinking about interest to short attention span spectators. Too bad. They sent the stuff to the Smithsonian in DC with precise labels, though.
