Dearborn's fame stems from a pre-eminent figure in the history of automobiles,
Henry Ford, one of the first to mass produce affordable automobiles through assembly
line manufacturing. Despite being swallowed by Detroit's
urban sprawl, Dearborn has retained an identity as the world headquarters of the
Ford Motor Company. A number of Dearborn attractions pertain to the history of
automobiles, including the Henry
Ford Estate, the early 20th century abode of Henry Ford that features
a six-story home, 72 acres (29 ha) of landscaped terrain and a garage stocked
with cars. Learn even more about the famous car designer at Henry
Ford Museum & Greenfield Village, where nine acres of exhibits and thousands
of artifacts examine his developments in transportation and manufacturing. Car
enthusiasts relish the chance to visit the Automotive
Hall of Fame, which chronicles the development of the motor vehicle industry
and showcases automobiles dating back to the early 1900s. Dearborn is also home
to one of the largest populations of Arab-Americans in the country, spawning the
creation of the Arab
American National Museum and its many exhibits illuminating Arab civilization
and achievements.
