01
Artifact Overview
In the 1920s and '30s, Henry Ford set up small-scale factories throughout southeast Michigan. These "Village Industries" supplied Ford with tools and vehicle parts, and they employed local people who could maintain farms while working at the factory. At Hayden Mills in Tecumseh, employees cleaned and packed Ford-grown soybeans. During World War II, they built parts for B-24 bomber airplanes.
