Biography
The Henry Ford, a National Historic Landmark, is also known as the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, and more formally as the Edison Institute, named after American industrialist Henry Ford. The Henry Ford Museum began as Henry Ford's personal collection of historic objects and is primarily a collection of antique machinery, automobiles, locomotives, and aircraft. Greenfield Village is a reconstruction of a 19th century American town consisting of historic buildings from around the country, such as Noah Webster's Connecticut Home, the Wright brothers' bicycle shop, and the Logan County, Illinois courthouse where Abraham Lincoln practiced law. The Edison Institute was dedicated by President Herbert Hoover to Ford's longtime friend Thomas Edison on October 21, 1929.
