The Henry Ford Land Acknowledgment Unvailing

With this statement, The Henry Ford acknowledges the presence and history of Indigenous people who originally stewarded the land upon which the institution was built. It is important, however, that this land acknowledgement be more than just words. It is a commitment that requires action. On April 11, 2026 — coinciding with the opening of Greenfield Village for the season — The Henry Ford unveiled a new plaque in front of the Village ticket building, making this statement a permanent part of the environment.
