    Great collection of flathead V-8 cars & trucks. You need at least 3 hours to take a quick look at all the displays in the museum.

    This place exceeded our expectations! Relatively new location, excellent displays & informational. The 1936 Ford showroom was incredible!! Every year of the flathead was also represented. Did you know that a tool set came with each car?! 😳 After chatting with the owner, he talked about improving the museum with additional displays, events and attractions! This is a definite must see for all car/Ford enthusiasts! 😍

    The Ford museum hosts a variety of Ford vehicles along with interesting facts regarding each one. Additionally, the highlight for our family was meeting Josh (the executive director). Josh's hospitality and kindness went above and beyond; he made our visit memorable and special.

    Visiting this place should be a requirement before you can truly call yourself a Ford person! So much information and items displayed like you've never seen before and probably won't see anywhere else! Worthy of a visit for sure, even if not a blue oval fan. You'll leave appreciating Ford more than ever before!

    Everything you didn't know about the 30's thru 50's Ford cars. Really nice thing about this museum is that you can actually walk up to and touch the cars. That adds a flavor that you can't get from museums that keep you separated from the cars. Everything here is at or near museum quality so you will not be disappointed. If you are in Auburn visiting car museums - you really need to go here also.

    This is a great museum the anyone that is a fan of early automobiles. We really loved the display of all Ford cars from 1936, all of the information and details were really interesting. The promotional videos and information from that time was interesting. The whole collection is in beautiful condition, even more impressive when you know that they are in running condition as well. We want to go back some time when we have more time.

    What a great museum! Even if you aren't a Ford fan this is a must see! Josh, the director of the museum took time to visit with the wife and I. What a treat to talk with him! We visited on 9-26-23. And although I failed to get the young lady's name that worked the front desk and gift shop that day, she was most helpful too! Can't say enough good things about this museum and the folks who run it -- GO SEE IT!!

    You’re not gonna find a more “customer oriented” car museum anywhere. Josh and his entire staff go beyond the call of duty taking care of and showing off the multi-million dollar collection of cars and artifacts. Put the Ford Foundation Museum on your list to visit (and JOIN).

    Great stop for any Ford fan. I really enjoyed the 1936 Ford showroom. So many Ford cars in excellent condition. Very educational.
