I learned so much about President Ford. He was a man of integrity. Definitely worth the admission and a great way to spent the morning.

The Gerald Ford Presidential Museum is a fitting testimonial to America’s only unintentional President. Living proof we live in a country of laws and not men. How great to have the museum in the hometown. Great exhibits and interactive presentations.

This is a true gem and a must visit museum. I learned so much about President Gerald. R. Ford. Here, you can find his oval office, his desk, and personal items. There is the first ceude oil sample extracted from Alaska, which was an important step for the American energy industry. I was amazed. There's no kids area, though they have a scavenger hunt for kids, and in the end, they can exchange it for a small prize. Which is very helpful to keep them entertained. Highly recommend this place.

If you are in uniform, there is free admission (Scouts, Police, Fire, Military, American Heritage Girls, Cadets, Trail Life, etc). There is also free admission during the 9/11 Salute event each year. We were disappointed that the Presidential Ford Museum was closed today for a winter storm and never thought to call ahead or suspect that it might be closed. We have come for the 9/11 Salute many times and will be back another time.
