This video dramatizes the reasons behind the collections at the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, and the great desire of Henry Ford to preserve artifacts that would demonstrate the transition from a rural to an industrial society. This film is probably used as an introduction to the Henry Ford Museum. Shown are some of the objects in that collection, American technological history, and a glimpse of a mid-19th century American home. It includes some glassblowing, a picture of Edison's lightbulb, and Edison's laboratory (which has been moved from Menlo Park to Greenfield Village). There are interesting old film clips and photos.
