The Edsel and Eleanor Ford House is a mansion located at 1100 Lake Shore Drive in Grosse Pointe Shores, northeast of Detroit, Michigan; it stands on the site known as "Gaukler Point", on the shore of Lake St. Clair.

It was named after an area in County Cork in Ireland where Ford's adoptive grandfather, Patrick Ahern, was born. The 1,300-acre (530 ha) estate along the River Rouge included a large limestone house, an electrical power plant on the dammed river, a greenhouse, a boathouse, riding stables, a children's playhouse, a treehouse and extensive landmark gardens designed by Chicago landscape architect Jens Jensen.

This is a photograph of the actual bus from Montgomery, Alabama, where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on December 1, 1955. Her brave actions sparked a movement for freedom and Civil Rights in America.
This photograph was taken at THE HENRY FORD, a museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
This is another facility Henry Ford used in his Village Industries program :

Located alongside the New River near Lookout West Virginia. Now preserved by the National Park Service. A Shute dropped coal from the storage bin into coal cars. A steam locomotive moved the coal cars during this process. The Norfolk Southern mainline is to right. Henry Ford owned this coal mine for eight years.
In 1873 the C&O Railroad completed running tracks along the New River near Lookout WV. John Nuttall opened this mine near the top of Kenneys Creek and founded his namesake coal camp called Nuttallburg along the east side of the New River. In the 1920's Henry Ford bought this mine and operated this mine. Mr Ford sold the mine after realizing he couldn't control or buy the railroad that often shorted coal cars needed for this mine to be profitable. During the eight years Ford owned the mine he changed the miner's hours, vacations and sick leave to match the way he operated his auto plants. Many West Virginia miners drive Ford products to this day. After Ford sold the mine it operated until 1958. The National Park Service received title to the mine, from the Nuttall heirs in 1998.The tipples, conveyor system and mine entrance are on display.
Title from the brilliant ( and local ) band Downtown Brown
Opening in 1929, The Henry Ford Museum ( also referred to as "The Henry Ford" ) comprises the museum and Greenfield Village, and hosts a collection of historic artifcats including Lincoln's chair from the Ford Theater, JFK's limousine, Thomas Edison's labratory, and quite a few others. 1.7 million people visit the complex annually.
Coal comes downhill by conveyor to the tipple, left, and is sorted, center building, then put up in the bin, to right, to then be dropped into coal cars on the C&O railroad. Now on display by the National Park Service in the New River Gorge.

One from the archives - to my surprise ( after 25 years of rumors ) this building WAS finally fixed up and looks quite nice now.
The Martha-Mary Chapel, part of the Wayside Inn Historic Site, was built by then owner Henry Ford in 1940. It was named after his mother and mother in law. It was built by boys attending a school run by Ford on the property from wood salvaged from the 1938 hurricane that laid ruin to parts of the area....
HFF of the conveyor running from the head house at the mine down to the tipple on the rail line. Has an elevation gain of 655 feet at a 40% grade. This system was designed and built by Henry Ford during the eight years he owned the mine.
This bell tower serves as a central meeting point with the historic Greenfield Village Henry Ford Museum. Originally located in London England, the Sir John Bennett building was relocated to Dearborn, MI in 1931.
"Sir John Bennett liked the mythical story of Gog and Magog, the ancient protectors of Britain, so he re-created them for the front of his shop. The clock figures, Gog and Magog, toll the chimes of this shop every 15 minutes.
Sir John Bennett was a successful clock, watch and jewelry maker in London, England. This building stood a grand five stories at its original London site. It was scaled down to two stories when it was moved to Greenfield Village. Today, it is a sweet ship inside.
Built in 1931 in Greenfield Village. Exterior decorative elements from original shop in London, England
A close up of the Martha-Mary Chapel, part of the Longfellow's Wayside Inn Historic Site near Sudbury,MA. The Chapel was constructed from wood from trees ravaged by a hurricane in the 1938. It was named after Henry Ford's mother and mother in law.
Ford built a total of 6 chapels,most in Michigan....
"Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward."

This is the historic Globe Trading Company in Detroit. Henry Ford worked here for a little while before he started his own company, the rest of that is as they say....history! It has recently been restored, of which I have another picture to show. Thanks so much everyone, this one just made Explore!
This limestone farm dwelling was brought from Chedworth, Gloucestershire in the Cotswold Hills of Southwestern England. Henry Ford purchased Cotswold Cottage in 1929. The house, barn and fences, were taken apart stone by stone and sent by ship to the United States.

Although they have different parents, Samuel and Henry Ford are being raised as brothers at the Knoxville Zoo.
Born in Knoxville, Samuel is the son of Chewbacca "Chewy" who was born at the Smithsonian's CRC in Front Royal, VA. Chewy now resides in Knoxville. Samuel is the nephew of former National Zoo red pandas residents Lao Mei and Xiao Mei.
Henry Ford hails from the Detroit Zoo and is the son of Rupert and Curry.
In April 2009, both 'brothers' will be transferred to others zoos.
And yes, there will be a test later. :-D
All photos were taken on November 10, 2008 at the Red Panda Village at the Knoxville Zoo
Windows, shutters & seating outside the Three Bullet Gate pub in New Ross HWW! Taken back in June when I joined a very informative historical walking tour around the town. The vibrant flowers in the window box really stand out well against the proliferation of black.

Worlds first flight over the South Pole Nov 1929 ~ Ford Built ~ First metal success all Metal built.
Floyd Bennett (October 25, 1890 – April 25, 1928) was an American aviator who claimed, along with Richard E. Byrd, to have made the first flight to the North Pole in 1926. However, their claim to have reached the pole is disputed
The 1957 Ford Fairlane was a massive automotive triumph that helped Ford outsell Chevrolet for the first time since 1935. Driven by sleek, lower-slung styling and incredible body variation, Ford pushed more than 1.67 million total vehicles off the assembly line in 1957.
The 1957 model moved away from the bulbous curves of the mid-50s to embrace a longer, lower chassis accented by sharper, integrated tailfins
The premium trim level for the 1957 lineup was the Fairlane 500. These vehicles featured distinctive side trim packages with eye-catching gold anodized aluminum
The name "Fairlane" originated from Fair Lane, the sprawling personal estate of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford and his wife Clara, located in Dearborn, Michigan. Product planners adopted the moniker from the Fair Lane estate to add a touch of Ford family legacy, eventually using it across seven generations of cars from 1955 to 1970.
The engine Lineup included a 223 cu in Mileage Maker I6, 272 V8, 292 V8, and the high-performance 312 cu in Thunderbird Special V8 (up to 245+ hp). A 3-speed manual (with optional overdrive) or the 2-speed and 3-speed Ford-O-Matic automatics transmissions were available. There were12 body variations including Club Sedans, Town Sedans, Victorias (hardtops), and unique variations like the Ranchero utility pickup.
Originally shot at the Grass Valley Fairgrounds, when I tried to re-park it the owner got somewhat irate, so I left it there.

Chesapeake & Ohio #1601 is a 2-6-6-6 Allegheny built by Lima in 1941. Among one of the heaviest reciprocating steam locomotives ever built (over 600 tons including the tender), they were also among the most powerful. Their 7,500 horsepower rating was only exceeded by the Penny's Q2 freight duplexes. While incredibly powerful machines, the C&O typically assigned them to coal drags, a task that rarely had them going much faster than 25 mph. As a result, the true protentional of these massive locomotives was never fully realized, as they would've been rocket ships with a fast, heavy freight train. The #1601 is one of two survivors, the other being #1604 at the B&O Museum in Maryland. The #1601 is displayed at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI.
