There are large photomurals of class photos and graduations, videos showing several presidents as children, and filmed presidential reflections on their school house years. More

The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum offers an entire gallery to First Lady Betty Ford.  But the Museum's collection contains so much more. Pulling from its strengths, Betty Ford - An Extraordinary Life will feature those items that speak to Mrs. Ford's unique life - from her Grand Rapids upbringing to a career in fashion and dance, to a congressman's wife, First Lady of the land, to helping millions with breast cancer awareness and overcoming for herself and helping others defeat chemical dependency.  This exhibit offers a rare opportunity to see the collection of one of America's most admired First Ladies.
