Summertime is a good time to visit the Gerald R. Ford Museum. Outdoors, you can enjoy the grounds, including nearby Ah-nab-awen Park, as well as paying your respects at the burial site of President and Mrs. Ford.

Inside the museum, you can explore the life and times of Gerald R. Ford, Michigan's only President. Here documents, artifacts, photographs, and videos combine to tell the dramatic story of the Ford Presidency in the mid-1970s. Museum galleries depict Gerald Ford's rise from a humble youth to Eagle Scout, star football player, World War II naval officer, and U.S. congressman, and the unique way by which he became Vice President and President. Meet the issues of the day - the energy crisis, the Nixon pardon, Vietnamese refugees, and learn about the Bicentennial. Your visit will include a stop in the life-sized Oval Office and Cabinet Room. See for yourself how President Ford shaped our world. Exploring the museum is a great way to spend a day, even in inclement weather. The museum will be offering FREE admission on President Ford's birthday, July 14!

The summer of 2022 also brings a traveling exhibit to the museum - the Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel traveling exhibit. The ceiling panels from the Sistine Chapel have been reproduced using licensed high-definition photos.

The cache will be found in a nice park near Lowell that has many caches on both sides of the river. This area may be somewhat prone to flooding, I'll keep watch on it. Bug spray may be a good idea.
