Education Everywhere — On the 50th anniversary of Gerald R. Ford’s swearing in as the 38th president of the United States, his museum and library launched a new website with expanded features for educators and visitors alike.
The new Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library & Museum website launched Aug. 9. The website includes expanded access to a growing Digital Artifact Collection, more access to research tools for students and teachers, and a streamlined school visit registration form. The site covers both the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids and the Ford Library, which is in Ann Arbor.
The Ford Museum is currently hosting an original temporary exhibition called “Ford at 50: Decisions that Defined A Presidency,” which tells the stories of some of President Ford’s most difficult and controversial decisions during his time in office.
