The Henry Ford covers some 200 acres and getting to specific historic sites will mean walking about half a mile on flat terrain, sometimes in hot or wet weather. The weather during summer months is warm and sometimes wet, averaging lows in the 50s and highs in the mid-80s with a monthly average rainfall of 4”.
