The Henry Ford Museum...

This weekend we traveled to Detroit to go to a conference for Kristin's work.
While there Joshua and I slipped out to visit the Henry Ford Museum.

At the museum we saw:
  • the car JFK was shot in
  • the chair that Abe Lincoln was shot in
  • the bus that Rosa Parks protested on
  • a cot that George Washington slept on while touring the battle fields
  • Henry Ford's first "car"
  • The Dymaxion house
  • An Allegheny Train (this thing was HUGE!)
If you are ever in Detroit, definitely check out the Henry Ford Museum... it's sweet
