Home of the Model T

Wayne County · dedicated 1956 · Woodward Avenue, Highland Park

Here at his Highland Park Plant, Henry Ford in 1913 began the mass production of automobiles on a moving assembly line. By 1915 Ford built a million Model T’s. In 1925 over nine thousand were assembled in a single day. Mass production soon moved from here to all phases of American industry and set the pattern of abundance for twentieth century living.
