Henry Ford was one of the worlds richest men...and as such he liked to collect stuff...his collection is called the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan...Now Henry just didn't care much for art, or guns, or even cars for that matter...allthough there are alot of them...He like to collect Farm Machinery, and Steam engines...not the Rail Road kind either but a Steam Engines that would pump out mines back in the early 1700's...that stand two stories tall...that kind of stuff....theres even a steam turbine that was used to power the River Rouge Plant...it's just about 200 feet long and 30 feet high...it's in the museum...
