Henry Ford Museum, Michigan Automobile industrialist Henry Ford was born near Dearborn, Michigan, in 1863. Ford built his first automobile in 1893 and established his own manufacturing company ten years later. The Ford Company headquarters are in Dearborn, as is the Henry Ford Museum, shown here, which tells of the transition of the United States from an agricultural to an industrial society, a change in which Ford played a central part.
