Letter from Highland Park High School Principal to Benjamin Lovett, January 16, 1926

Artifact Overview
Like the collections of antique vehicles, farm equipment and cooking implements Ford began to amass with vigor during the 1920s--music was part of Ford's larger vision for preserving the American past. By this time, much of America had left traditional music behind. But Ford never forgot it. And, through Benjamin Lovett's instruction, Ford wanted to share it with new generations.

Henry Ford loved music-especially the fiddle tunes he enjoyed at the country dances of his youth. As a young man, Ford bought this inexpensive fiddle and learned to play it a bit. Though he was never able to play as well as he would have wished, Ford's love of the fiddle and rural dance music remained with him throughout his life.
