Congratulations to Jeanne and James who completed their Presidential Passport at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum! 🎉 Starting the journey on the East Coast at the JFK Library, in just seven years they zigzagged across the country and visited 13 NARA Presidential Libraries!

We're honored to host incredible pieces of art from local high school students for the 2026 Congressional Art Competition! The winning works are displayed for one year at the U.S. Capitol. The art will hang in our lobby through April 30.

We look forward to seeing you all this evening for the Heath Lee program! Due to additional events in the surrounding area, if the Museum's front parking lot off Pearl Street is full, our guests are invited to park in the staff lot off of Scribner, behind the Museum.

Drafted by the Confederation Congress at the same time as the Constitution, the Ordinance outlined a framework for government in the northwest territory, defining the rights guaranteed in that territory, and creating a process for admitting new states to the United States.

There is only one week left to explore the special display at the Ford Presidential Library in Ann Arbor featuring the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, on loan from the @USNatArchives. The exhibit is free and open to the public until April 30.

We proudly serve students, researchers, and history enthusiasts worldwide.

The dedicated team in Ann Arbor preserves and makes accessible thousands upon thousands of documents, photographs, audio, film, and video recordings. These materials offer unparalleled access to the history of the Ford Administration and the life of President Ford and Mrs. Ford.

Happy #NationalLibraryWeek! We're celebrating the role libraries play in connecting us to knowledge, history, and community. While the Ford Presidential Library isn't a traditional lending library, we are a hub of information.
