Model T Driving Experience

Get behind the wheel of a genuine Model T Ford—one of the iconic "Tin Lizzies" produced over a century ago—and drive it yourself around the museum grounds. Under the guidance of an experienced instructor, you'll spend about three and a half hours learning the basics of operating these vintage vehicles, from managing the spark and throttle levers to coordinating hand and foot controls and practicing proper stopping and reversing techniques. This hands-on adventure works wonderfully for multigenerational families, couples, or anyone curious about automotive history. Beyond the driving itself, you'll enjoy a historian-led presentation about Henry Ford and the Model T's impact on the world, plus you'll receive a souvenir booklet and a completion certificate to take home. Your class fee also includes full-day admission to the museum's entire historic campus. Just remember to wear sensible shoes (no flip-flops or high heels), bring a valid driver's license, and be able to get in and out of the car independently. It's a unique way to connect with a piece of American history.
