Artifact Overview
Clara and Henry Ford donated land in Allen Park, Michigan, for a veterans hospital. Ground was broken in 1937, and the facility opened two years later. Expanded multiple times after World War II, the hospital ultimately was replaced by an all-new facility in nearby Detroit in 1996. The original Allen Park VA Medical Center buildings were demolished starting in 2002.
