Unleash your students’ inquisitiveness and help them understand the history of America’s most powerful innovations. Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation bristles with the unbridled energy of American ingenuity.

Imagine your class sitting on the very bus where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat while you discuss how individual actions can change the world. Watch the concept of industrial might come to life as students explore the Allegheny–one of the world’s most powerful steam locomotives. Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation allows imaginations to run wild and students to begin to dream.
