Staff at Opening of the Exhibit, "Henry Ford: A Personal History," in Henry Ford Museum, May 1953

Henry Ford himself was the focus of Henry Ford: A Personal History. Opened in 1953 during Ford Motor Company's 50th anniversary, the exhibit included artifacts like Westinghouse steam engine No. 345, the fifteen millionth Model T, and a re-creation of Ford's Highland Park office using original furnishings. It was among the museum's first major additions after Ford's death in 1947.
