About this adventure

On Veterans Day The Henry Ford opens Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation free of charge to active-duty service members, veterans and their families, so a military family can spend the day with the museum's trains, cars, aircraft and inventions without buying tickets. Families show a military ID at any ticket counter, and up to six guests can come in on one service member's or veteran's ID. At 1 p.m. staff lead a free 30-minute tour from the Museum Plaza called Innovators Who Served, which looks at people in the collections whose stories connect to military service — a good way to explain the meaning of the holiday to school-age children. The museum's Giant Screen Experience is also premiering a documentary that week, with free tickets for veterans and active-duty personnel. Other visitors pay regular admission. The museum is open 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. that Wednesday.
