Ford Motor Co. is hosting a free public exhibit at Union Station in Washington, D.C. to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. The exhibit, titled ‘Driving America Forward: A Ford Experience at Union Station,’ features 10 historic vehicles and artifacts from the Ford Heritage Vault in Dearborn, Michigan.
Ford’s Contribution to America
Ted Ryan, Ford’s archives and heritage brand manager, said the exhibit is designed to showcase Ford’s significant impact on American industry, transportation, and pop culture over the past 123 years. ‘We’ve been here for almost half of that journey, and we’ve had such a material impact on America,’ Ryan said.
The exhibit includes a 1941 Ford GP prototype, a 1951 Ford 8N tractor, and a 2026 Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula One car. Visitors can also create a free postcard at an interactive photo station and shop for Ford merchandise.
American Innovation
Ryan said the exhibit is meant to spark memories for visitors and provide a deeper appreciation for Ford’s role in shaping America. ‘Ford built Mission Control at Johnson Space Center,’ he said. ‘We developed tracking beams for airplanes. Ford invented the mail sorter.’ The exhibit is open daily through July 14, with no tickets or registration required.
