Visit to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan on December 17, 2012.

At harvest time, a team of horses would have pulled this engine from farm to farm to power a crew's threshing machine. At the age of nineteen (in 1882), Henry Ford operated this engine for a threshing crew. He later purchased and restored the engine, claiming that running it inspired his confidence in working with machines.

However, it didn't inspire him to build any steam powered automobiles!
