Why you should go…
This triangular museum on the west bank of the Grand River tells the story of Gerald Ford, the 38th president, and his wife Betty, who are both buried on the grounds. You step into a full-scale replica of Ford's Oval Office and an interactive Cabinet Room, and a Watergate gallery begins its story with the June 1972 break-in. A 300-foot glass wall looks out over the river, and changing exhibits rotate through the year.
