April Event
A Behind-the-Scenes Tour
of The Gerald R. Ford Museum
Led by James Kratsas, Deputy Director
The Gerald R. Ford Museum galleries feature hands-on, interactive, video, and holographic displays that make visitors "participants" in history.
The exhibits enable visitors to travel by video with President Ford and Secretary Kissinger to various hot spots around the globe; take a holographic tour of the Ford White House; and experience a day in the Oval Office through a sound and light show. A Watergate gallery includes a six-minute, multi-screen history beginning with the June 1972 break-in -- plus the actual burglary tools on display. An interactive Cabinet Room allows visitors to take part in Presidential decision-making.
