	Featured Story- Henry Ford Museum Honors Rosa Parks' Memory - AOL Research & Learn
		Dearborn, Mich. (Oct. 26) -- Visitors streamed into the Henry Ford Museum for a glimpse of the bus that officials believe was the historic one Rosa Parks rode, now draped with purple-and-fl crepe to mark her death.
		Shortly after her death, museum officials moved the restored 1948 General Motors bus toward the center of the museum concourse.

	Museum Hawk: The Henry Ford - The Car Connection

		In general, as one would expect from a professionally run museum, the labeling throughout is excellent, except for the general dimness that Museum Hawk supposes is to prevent deterioration of the artifacts, large and small.
		Finally, The Henry Ford has an IMAX Theater for entertainment and also is the bus departure point for tours of the Ford F-150 Assembly Plant in the historic Ford Rouge Plant a few miles away.

		Anniversary of Ford Racing this year, Henry Ford Museum re-introduced "Sweepstakes," Henry Fordâs famed 1901 racecar, and announced plans to make the vehicle the centerpiece of its racing display beginning in mid-June.
