Henry's Attic provides fascinating documentation of some of the one
million artifacts in the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village.
The items represent both Henry Ford's passion for collecting
Americana and the astonishing array of gifts-some of great historic
value and others of a distinctly homegrown variety-that account for
almost half of the museum's collections. It was the quantity of
these gifts and the unusual and even unique nature of many of them
that provided the inspiration for this book. Henry Ford Museum and
Greenfield Village, which Ford established in Dearborn, Michigan in
the late 1920s, was intended to recreate the slow-paced, rural
character of America before the advent of the automobile. The
purchases he made and the gifts he was given reflect his desire to
document and preserve the lifeways of common people and to
emphasize middle-class rural history, as represented by the tools
of agriculture, industry, and transportation.
