Henry Ford Museum Michigan Out of the Past
Henry Ford Museum is located in Michigan is a true monument to a man who is still regaled as being the ultimate innovator for the entire state, not to mention this country. Here awaits a world that you can step into and explore past innovations that, quite literally, fueled the imaginations of generations to come. Being raised in Michigan, I have visit the museum in my youth on several scouting and school trips, or in those days Greenfield Village. On this visit I was heading to the Pere Marquette River for some Brown Trout Fishing.
Henry Ford, for lack of a better word, was a genius. Although best known for building his first experimental car in Detroit in 1896 behind his own house—an ‘experiment’ that later led to the Ford Motor Company producing cars that still fill up 75% of the driveways —Henry Ford also broke through walls in other areas of business and manufacturing.
American Innovations in Detroit
Thousands upon thousands visit the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Detroit each and every year. They come to immerse themselves in the number of experiences it has to offer. They dive into the stories of how American business came to be, as well as stories and lives of others that changed the face of America. Here, you can literally step inside the bus where Rosa Parks took a stand by taking a seat. You can become a pilot as you explore the world of flight, like creations that came from the intelligent minds of the famous Wright Brothers. This is quite literally home to the movers and shakers who blazed the path of America during their time.
The mission of the Henry Ford Museum Michigan is to provide ‘unique educational experiences based on authentic objects, stories, and lives from America’s traditions of ingenuity, resourcefulness, and innovation,’ which is precisely what they do on a daily basis. Not only do the exhibits teach, but they inspire peoples’ present-day ideas that will, perhaps, help America gain a better future.

Adventure is Out There Travel
Float a wild Alaskan River, fly fish the flats of Denmark, hike and fly fish the Alps of Italy, or take a backpacking trip up Kilimanjaro. Imagine yourself on safari in the Serengeti photographing lions, giraffes and zebras far removed from the hustle of the city. Lay outside at night watching a stars move across the sky. Or sipping a good Italian wine in the Alps of Trentino Italy. Another great trip is an Alaskan Wilderness float trip, for wild Alaskan Rainbows and Salmon. Side bonus is photographing the wildlife.
