Ford Museum Get's A Tuneup (and more)

From Thursday's Wall Street Journal Opinionjournal.com by Dale Buss:

Yes, they really are. Fascinating artifacts have been scattered throughout this place since the indoor Henry Ford Museum and outdoor Greenfield Village opened in 1929 here in Ford Motor Co.'s hometown. Ford himself built the collection, mainly to illustrate forever the role of a handful of innovators in improving American life. Since his death in 1947, stewards have broadened that charter and now seek out and showcase just about anything that has had a role in raising our standard of living. "We have a bias toward things that demonstrate innovation, resourcefulness and ingenuity," says Steve Hamp, president of The Henry Ford.
