FRIDAY 16th

I arrived at the Ford Library later in the afternoon. This campus is located in a beautiful spot right next to the University at Ann Harbor.
The scene of the front of the building, the grass extends in all directions from this point. It is a landscapers dream.
As one enters the lobby you find that there are steps leading down to the main floor. This lobby section is all that is open to the public. There are many 'trinkets' being displayed in the cases on the floor and the area along the wall.
A 'available light' picture of the office Ford used while at the Library. Flash pictures are not allowed at any of the Presidential libraries I have visited.
This is the best composite picture I could produce of the Courtyard at the back of the building. The end of the visitors section is on the left of the scene but the building really reaches out another two hundred feet or so to the right. That is the Library section that is used by Historians and writers. I would have liked to get in there and walk around but it did not appear to be in the cards.
This is all behind a glass case built into the wall. There are several such cases with memorabilia.
