I was impressed by the Gerald R. Ford Museum. From the beautiful landscapes to the layout of the building everything is nicely done. Everyone on staff is friendly and very helpful. I loved the different rooms and the artifacts. Just the right amount, neatly organized, and easy to follow. The electronic screens have loads of educational information. I highly recommend this place.
So well done. This was less than a ten minute drive from the airport so I had to check it out. Being an 80's child I never knew a whole lot about Ford and learned so much while here. The Oval Office and Cabinet room replicas are really awesome. It's a decent sized museum and probably would take 90 minutes if you actually read everything. hey also had an awesome music exhibit with instruments and clothes from major music stars. When leaving the museum you can visit the spot President and Betty Ford are buried just a 2 minute walk from the museum, which was very serene and beautiful. Parking outside was free. This is a must see.
The parking lot here is great. Its large and very easily accessible and easy to exit as well. The establishment is very well designed and interesting. The exhibits are nice. The staff is very professional as well. Worth a visit if you havent been.
I have been to many Presidential Libraries and Museums and this one is a real treat. The museum is well laid out and thorough. The grounds and gravesite are well maintained and respectful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The ticket/sales receptionist went out of her way to ensure a nice visit. The security guard even radioed another to keep open the gravesite open a few minutes late so we could pay our respects. Our baby had a great time though our the museum this past Sunday too. The only thing missing is information on President Ford's Golden Retriever named Liberty! An oversight that can be easily addressed.
I enjoy learning about history -- even about history I lived through. In retrospect, it is great to learn about a president with integrity. Even though I can't agree with everything Mr. Ford did; I do agree that the country was better off for having him as president during a time of political upheaval. The exhibits are fair, balanced, honest, and interesting. Clear and factual. --- They could offer a few more imaginative gift items in the museum shop ... felt the selection was lacking.
