A visit to Henry Ford Museum

[den68]

I went there to get some pictures of the video games they had in one of the exhibits. Here's a few other interesting items:

This is the chair Abraham Lincoln was sitting in when he was shot by John Wilkes Booth in the Ford Theater. The info states that those are indeed blood stains on the chair as well as hair dye on other unidentified substances.



R. Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion House:

Wow thats prety crazy.

Do they have vehicles in there from other companies or only Ford made items?
Just curious.

They should use that blood to clone Lincoln.

That'd be sweet. A clone army of Lincolns Bush could use to take over the galaxy and destroy the Jedi.

That is a neat museum, I've been there once or twice before.  Did you happen to see Greenfield village as well?

I live 5 minutes from the place. I've been to Greenfield Village many times. Last time I was there was for their Halloween event a few weeks ago.

Hopefully I'll be going to the Imax there to see Harry Potter soon.
