On this segment of The Henry Ford’s Innovation Nation, Mo Rocca meets with Jim Johnson, curator of historic structures and landscapes, to learn more about the planning it takes to create a village.
Henry Ford’s idea of re-creating a historic village in Dearborn, Michigan, began to take shape when he restored his own birthplace (1919) and childhood school (1923) on their original sites.
