This is a conversation where each participant will discuss a different project that they were involved with at The Henry Ford Museum. The presenters are:
- Bradley L. Taylor (Associate Director Emeritus, Museum Studies Program)
- Calder Fong (PhD, Germanic Languages and Literatures)

Taylor's talk showcases Henry Ford’s efforts to preserve historic buildings by moving them from across the country and re-assembling them at Greenfield Village. The stories of three English structures brought to the Village will challenge assumptions about the nature of “originality” and “authenticity.”

Fong will trace the history of an 1887 Crossley Bros. internal combustion engine at The Henry Ford Museum. Along the journey he will discuss Henry Ford as an early pioneer of urbexing and explore the wide range of disciplines that intertwine at this museum of American innovation.
