Voted “one of the country’s best museums” by Condé Nast Traveler, The Henry Ford’s 250 acres of innovation offer a one-of-a-kind experience. The events, inventions, and people who made America are all here, just waiting for you to encounter the sights, sounds and sensations. A journey here with others is especially wonderful, as you’ll share discoveries large and small, just like great American innovators. Discount tickets are available for groups of 15 or more with advanced reservations. We offer stress-free planning and follow it up with world-class service.

Historic Base Ball: 1867 Style
June 10 - August 20 (Saturday & Sunday) | First pitch 1:30pm
This is thrill-a-minute base ball in the glorious outdoors. Our grandstand is a grassy hillside shaded by dozens of massive walnut trees. We have live, 19th-century music by the Dodworth Saxhorn Band. And every so often, a Greenfield Village passenger train pulled by a 19th-century steam locomotive chugs along the perimeter of the outfield. It’s classic.
