With nine acres of exhibits and millions of artifacts, Dearborn's Henry Ford Museum offers a mesmerizing history of America as displayed in the products that changed the culture of the nation and the world. The museum has a 1909 Ford Model T and the Rosa Parks bus, but it doesn't just concentrate on cars; it has a locomotive, a 1930s kitchen, the chair in which Abraham Lincoln was assassinated and Edgar Allen Poe's writing desk, along with other artifacts from the realms of transportation, manufacturing, domestic life, technology and entertainment. When here, a visit to the in-house Henry Ford IMAX Theatre offers good entertainment and relaxation.

Miller's Bar, despite the name, is actually best known for what comes out of its kitchen rather than behind the bar. Since 1941 Miller's has been serving up a simple menu: burgers, with Swiss cheese or Velveeta, fries, onion rings and tuna, corned beef, ham and grilled cheese sandwiches. But what they are really known for nationwide is the burger, which is hand ground daily beginning at 4a. Standard condiments are available as are onions and pickles, but you won't find any lettuce or tomato here - don't worry you won't miss it!
