Behind the Scenes at Ford's Rouge Factory Tour

August 30, 2024

As part of our trip to The Henry Ford, we took a tour of the Rouge Factory. While they don’t allow any photos inside the factory itself, we thought we’d share the photos of parts of the tour we were allowed to film.

Being able to watch the assembly line of the F-150 is incredible. It is a very well oiled machine, with each person doing their part in a timely manner and documenting anything they find out of spec in real time. Probably one of the most interesting thing about the factory itself is how they have engineered it to be green. Two of the initiatives really stood out as being special.

Our trip to The Henry Ford was multiple days. Highly recommend spending a few days in this area to check it out!

Part of the campus includes Greenfield Village - a combined effort of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison - which showcases life in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s in America. They have brought in historic buildings (school house, church, merchant shops, taverns, Edison’s workshop, and even homes of notorious persons from the time) from all over the country which have been painstakingly restored and displayed on the more than 80 acre property.

For those of you traveling with pups, what secrets do you have to keep your dogs well behaved and prevent boredom?

Our favorite one is specifically geared towards people with more than one dog. Make sure each pupper gets some one-on-one time with you. We like to sit outside with each of ours separately and walk them separately. Walks include both time to sniff and training.
