01
Artifact Overview
Ford Airport opened in Dearborn, Michigan, in 1924. The complex grew to include an airship mooring mast, concrete runways, a passenger terminal, an on-site airplane factory, and an adjacent hotel. Aviation activity slowed there in the late 1930s as the facility was converted into a Ford Motor Company proving ground. The airport formally closed in 1947.
