The Gerald R. Ford Museum brings American history to life for students of all ages. Diverse exhibits show the real stuff of history, sparking curiosity and enthusiasm about our nation's history and government. Programs, tours and historical performances add yet another dimension to the Museum's educational offerings.

The Ford Museum's permanent exhibits allow visitors to actually participate in history while reviewing the lives of President and Mrs. Ford. A succession of feature exhibits draw upon the holdings of the entire Presidential Libraries System, Smithsonian Institution, National Archives and others.

Not all museum programs revolve around the exhibits schedule. Museum staff organize and host special events, everything from a 1940s fashion show to activities for school children. The Museum also hosts naturalization ceremonies for new citizens and opens the grounds to the community festivities and fireworks on the fourth of July. The Museum Store sells items relating to President and Mrs. Ford and other Presidents and First Ladies, along with a number of souvenirs.

The Gerald R. Ford Museum is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm. It is closed on New Years Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Admission for those 19 to 62 is $7.00, for those over 62 are $6.00, for those 6 - 18 is $3.00 and free for 5 and under.
