Default Ford Museum Pirep???

My family and I flew into Willow Run. If you're on a history trip, I can
think of no better airport to fly into. With such strong connections to
Ford and Lindbergh, it's amazing to see the airport and buildings where over
43,000 people built over 8700 B-24's. Check out this link for more Willow
Run history:

We called ahead and they had a rental car waiting for us. We stayed in one
of the many hotels on the north side of DTW, which is between Willow Run and
the Ford Museum. It's an easy drive from the hotel complex east to the
Museum or west back to Willow Run.

We spent a day and 1/2 at the Museum and Greenfield Village. With the
weather getting colder, if you have limited time, do the Museum as the
activities at Greenfield Village may be limited. If you have the time,
visit both the museum and the village. The Museum is just that, a Museum of
America's and the World's technological and industrial achievements with
some outstanding collections of all modes of transportation. The Village is
a collection of historical buildings set in realistic settings with
employees in full costume acting out daily life during the early 1900's.

As we had the time and wanted to visit both exhibits, the best deal on
tickets was to purchase the membership package which allows us to re-visit
at no charge within a year of our original visit. Food onsite is extremely
expensive. Eat offsite before and afterwards and save your cash for a beer
in the beer hall as you leave Greenfield Village.
