Ann Arbor was a long time ago for me. I remember the wonderful collection of the Kelsey being displayed in an old museum way in an old museum building. Times have changed: the glorious old building facade now guides the visitor to a modern and remarkable space that gives the collection the room it needs to speak to the visitors. It is very much worth your time.

This 1853 building was designed in a ancient Greek motif. It was once the home of local musicians Reuben H. and Pauline Widenmann Kempf. Today it's a local history museum.

Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library

Reviewed By AmitKshirsagar - Ann Arbor, United States

I have lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan since 1977, so visiting this Historic Monument is like scratching or taking a bath. We do it at least once a month or more. We came to Ann Arbor on Aug.16th, 1977. Since then, we have had the luxury of watching the Behavings/Misbehavings of all our living Ex-Presidents, since Mr. Ford.
