Artifact Overview

Henry Ford admired brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright. They were all sons of the Midwest (Ford from Michigan, the Wrights from Ohio) who achieved great success in the early 20th century. After Ford purchased the Wrights' home and cycle shop in 1936, Orville Wright helped him locate original family furnishings, books and equipment to outfit the buildings.
