Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library, Michigan

Gerald Ford, the 38^th president of the USA, has his official presidential library  in Ann Arbor, on the campus of the University of Michigan, his alma mater, where he played football before going to law school at Yale. Ford’s presidential library opened in 1981, like the Gerald Ford Museum in Grand Rapids. The two sites are operated as a single institution under one director, even though they are separated by 130 miles. Ford wanted to spread his legacy across the state.
