In September, 2004, the Foundation purchased two-and-one-half acres of land in the Dean Kruse
Museum Complex in Auburn, Indiana. This land will be used to build a Ford Museum focusing on
1932-1953 Ford Motor Company History.

The drawing at the top of the page depicts what we hope to build in the very near future.  (Click here for another view)
