There's plenty at The Henry Ford to keep you busy for a couple of days, at least. If time permits, there are other nearby attractions.

The Dearborn Inn, across the street, was built by Ford in 1931 to house visitors to the museum and is recognized by the National Trust for its Georgian architecture. Now a Marriott hotel, it comes complete with its own Colonial Village: authentic reproductions of houses once inhabited by Civil War heroine Barbara Fritchie, poet Walt Whitman, writer Edgar Allen Poe, statesman Patrick Henry and Connecticut governor Oliver Walcott. For a price, you can stay in one of the houses. But you can wander around and look at them for free.

If you want to see more of how Henry Ford lived, you can visit his estate on the University of Michigan campus in Dearborn (www.HenryFordEstate.org). The Edsel and Eleanor Ford House is located in nearby Grosse Point Shore (www.fordhouse.org).

If you want to learn more about automotive history, the Automotive Hall of Fame is next door to The Henry Ford and offers a look at all the important movers, shakers, builders and drivers. It is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $6 for adults; $3 for youths 5-18. Visit www.automotivehalloffame.org.
