Artifact Overview

Clarkston, Michigan, some 40 miles northwest of Detroit, was platted in 1842. One hundred years later, Henry Ford opened a modest factory there that manufactured seat covers, drill bushings, and other items. The Clarkston plant was one of Mr. Ford's Village Industries -- small-scale factories in southeast Michigan that supplied parts, tools, and equipment to Ford Motor Company.
