The Gilmore and The Henry Ford are two separate things. Both are great. The Gilmore is about 160 miles west of the Henry Ford, about 60 miles SE of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The Gilmore site has several stand alone Museums on the grounds. The Model A Ford is just one of them. Franklin Car museum is right in front of the Model a museum and near by is the Lincoln , Cadillac and other buildings. All of this is within walking distance.

The Model A Museum was built at the Gilmore by the Model A Ford Foundation Inc. MAFFI. Here is my sedan in front of the Model A museum, but the Gilmore is huge there are 26 different car companies or associations with museums and all are excellent. You really need to plan on visiting both if at all possible, the Ford museum is a great one too.

Should be noted that all the different collections at the Gilmore are included in the entry fee. Best car museum I've been to.
