Ford House Lecture: Bicknell Lecture: The Centennial of Ford Aviation
Calling all history enthusiasts! Dive into the fascinating legacy of two American icons in aviation history.
Join us for the final lecture of the season in the prestigious Dr. Frank Bicknell Lecture Series, established in 1987 to honor the 80th birthday of Grosse Pointe resident and renowned Detroit Medical Center urologist Dr. Frank Bicknell. His family created this series to foster a love of history in the community, and today, it remains free and open to all.
This exciting lecture, co-sponsored by Ford House in celebration of Preservation Month, features Timothy J. O’Callaghan, who will present riveting insights from his book The Aviation Legacy of Henry & Edsel Ford. While most people know of Henry and Edsel Ford’s automotive achievements, their groundbreaking work in aviation often goes unnoticed. Learn how their innovation and vision revolutionized the production of airplanes—changing the course of both commercial and military aviation, from the Ford Trimotor airplane to the present day.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to uncover a lesser-known chapter of the Fords’ legacy! Join us at Ford House’s Visitor Center for an evening of discovery and history.
