Artifact Overview
Many famous individuals have visited Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum. Actors, authors, and artists have passed through the entrance gates; business leaders, royalty, politicians, and a host of others have toured the exhibits. Photographs by the institution's photographer were taken if the celebrity allowed it. Actor, comedian and former Cowardly Lion Bert Lahr was kind enough to give autographs when he came in 1966.
