About Dearborn (The Henry Ford)

The Henry Ford complex in Dearborn is one of the most remarkable museum campuses in the world, spanning three major attractions. The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation houses a staggering collection including the bus where Rosa Parks made her stand, the Lincoln chair from Ford\'s Theatre, Thomas Edison\'s last breath in a test tube, and presidential limousines. Greenfield Village is a 240-acre outdoor museum where over 80 historic buildings—including Edison\'s Menlo Park laboratory and the Wright Brothers\' bicycle shop—have been relocated and restored.

The Ford Rouge Factory Tour takes visitors inside a working F-150 truck assembly plant, one of the world\'s largest industrial complexes. Dearborn also has the largest Arab American community in the United States, giving it an extraordinary Middle Eastern food scene—Michigan Avenue is lined with Lebanese bakeries, Yemeni restaurants, and hookah lounges. The Arab American National Museum and the Islamic Center of America (the largest mosque in North America) reflect this vibrant community.
