1880/1890
The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States
Henry Ford loved music-especially the fiddle tunes he enjoyed at the country dances of his youth. As a young man, Ford bought this inexpensive fiddle and learned to play it a bit. Though he was never able to play as well as he would have wished, Ford's love of the fiddle and rural dance music remained with him throughout his life.
