Celebrate early American motoring at the 75th anniversary of Old Car Festival. Step back in time to see how the automotive journey began as both bicycles and some of the first vehicle models move around you. This experience honors the people, traditions and motor vehicles that have defined this special event for three quarters of a century.

As we continue commemorating America’s 250th anniversary, Old Car Festival transports guests to a transformative era in our nation’s history, when the automobile expanded opportunities for travel, fostered greater independence, and connected communities across the country in ways never before possible.

Join us for the festive two-day experience in Greenfield Village September 12-13 as we mark these two monumental anniversaries. Old Car Festival is free for members or included with village admission. Learn more or purchase tickets online at THF.org/OldCarFestival.

Every large city once had its signature department store: Macy’s in New York City, Marshall Fields of Chicago, Wanamaker in Philadelphia, Filene’s in Boston and I. Magnin of San Francisco. Detroit? Why, J.L. Hudson’s of course!

Visit the history of Detroit’s merchandising powerhouse of the mid-20th century through garments, shoes and hats once sold there — and photographs that invite you into the bygone world of this legendary consumer palace.

Stop by the “What We Wore” rotating display of historic clothing in Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. “What We Wore: J.L. Hudson’s: A Detroit Legend” is now on display, located near Plum Market Kitchen.

In this very living room and in this very chair, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. watched live as President Lyndon B. Johnson declared, “We shall overcome,” and affirmed the need for voting rights legislation. This living room belonged to Dr. Sullivan and Mrs. Richie Jean Sherrod Jackson, friends who opened their Selma, Alabama, home as a place of refuge for King and other leaders during the 1965 Voting Rights Movement.
