Ford Village Industry Plants, Southeast Michigan, 1934
01
Artifact Overview
In the 1920s and '30s, Henry Ford set up small-scale factories throughout southeast Michigan. These "Village Industries" employed local residents -- ideally farmers who could maintain their farms when not working at the factory -- and supplied Ford with tools and vehicle parts. This composite image shows several of those plants.
