Engineers create new possibilities all the time, working together to develop new technologies, products and opportunities that change how we live. Let's inspire the next generation by celebrating all of the ways engineers turn dreams into reality by reimagining what's possible.

2026 programming information coming soon.

 

This experience is part of The Henry Ford’s commemoration of the country’s 250th anniversary. Throughout 2026, you’ll find special programming, new exhibitions and exciting events across our 250-acre campus that spotlight the history of the United States. This yearlong series explores how creativity and ingenuity have sparked change across centuries of American life, and how they continue to shape the future we all share. From revolutionary inventions to grassroots movements, stories of transformation will unfold across Greenfield Village, Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, Giant Screen Experience and Ford Rouge Factory Tour.
