Artifact Overview

Edsel and Henry Ford conceived the Dearborn Inn as a business opportunity when it opened in 1931. Initially, the inn hosted pilots and travelers transiting through the nearby Ford Airport, but after the airport closed, it served visitors to Dearborn and Ford Motor Company. From the 1950s into the late 1980s, the inn was managed by the Edison Institute.
