OLD AMERICAN VILLAGE BEING BUILT BY FORD Collection of Antiques at Dearborn in Progress for Years. r m rr week or so a newspaper item cbi tides acquisition of an addition to Henry Fords museum of early Amerirana. Following i* th* first of a series of three articles describing the growth of this museum and the oddities contained therein. BY J. A. PETERSON 1 nited Press Staff Correspondent DETROIT. Aug. 22.—Reading human history from articles of human origin is the thought and purpose back of the typical American village Henry Ford is building in his hr-me town of Dearborn on the outskirts of Detroit. And the ability to thus read history is ascribed to Ford in an exceptionally marked degree, despite various references spoken and written in the past with respect to his lack of historical attainment. Although the auto magnate has demonstrated that he is weak on dates and incidents, the fact is he has quite definite ideas regarding historical values, and his Dearborn collection represents his way of giving expression to the notions he entertains. “We are trying to assemble,” he remarked, “complete series of every kind of article used or made in America from the days of the first settlers down to now. “When we are through we shall have reproduced American life as lived. The Ford collections at Dearborn have been in a process of growth for many years. Early in life the passion for accumulating such collections took hold of the Ford mind. At first he collected articles brought there by his father and mother, then things of little apparent value, pieces of old china, old rusty hand wrought nails and spikes These are put most carefully away in the museum. Then there are relics and antiques. many of priceless rarity. Acres of them are protected and preserved in the old tractor plant at Dearborn until they can be classified and put in place in the museum being built near the main Ford administration building in Dearborn. In the collections are the Wayside Inn near Boston, the Burroughs homestead in the Catskills, the Ford homestead in the Old Scotch settlement of Dearborn and the Botslord Inn in Detroit.
