Artifact Overview
Henry Ford firmly believed in the "practical educational value" of World's Fair exhibits. During the 1939-40 New York World's Fair, he highlighted the work of students attending his experimental schools. In the Ford building, boys from Ford's Edison Institute Schools operated quarter-size replicas based on machines from Thomas Edison's Menlo Park. Miniature equipment and displays completed the scene.
