Overview

Museum hours 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m.

Join us as we celebrate the life and lasting legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during a weekend of reflection, learning and inspiration. From January 17-19, experience three days of programs, performances and conversations that honor the enduring impact of his words and the profound mark his leadership has left on the American story.

Each year, The Henry Ford commemorates Dr. King's legacy, underscoring our dedication to sharing America's stories of courage, equality and resilience. These stories reveal how movements, past and present, have propelled our nation toward greater possibility.

As we prepare to open the Jackson Home in Greenfield Village in June 2026, a site deeply connected to Dr. King's leadership and commitment to justice, these three days in January offer a powerful moment to reflect on his lasting influence and the unfinished revolutions in pursuit of freedom and equality.

Admission and parking to Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation are free on the recognized holiday, January 19.
