Admission and parking to Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation are free on the recognized holiday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 19.
Each year, The Henry Ford commemorates Dr. King’s legacy, underscoring our dedication to sharing America’s stories of courage, equality and resilience. These stories reveal how movements, past and present, have propelled our nation toward greater possibility.
As we prepare to open the Jackson Home in Greenfield Village in June 2026, a site deeply connected to Dr. King’s leadership and commitment to justice, these three days in January offer a powerful moment to reflect on his enduring impact and the unfinished revolutions in the pursuit of freedom and equality.
Special Programs & Performances:
- Display of The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Chair
- Interactive Coloring Wall with The Coloring Museum
- Live Performance | Words of Freedom: Speech Excerpts from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and President Lyndon B. Johnson
- Free Screening at Giant Screen Experience | The Vote
- Musical Performance | Brazeal Dennard Chorale
