Before there was Highland Park or River Rouge, there was Henry Ford's first Model T plant in Detroit's Milwaukee Junction district. Planning for construction of the factory began even beforethe Model T had celebrated its first anniversary, with plans being drawn by the Detroit firm of Field, Hinchman & Smith. Walk the factory floor where Ford experimented with the assembly line method of auto production and admire the workmanship of antique automobiles from the era.
