Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library

The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library in Ann Arbor serves as the archival home for Ford’s presidency and public life. Located near the University of Michigan, it is especially meaningful for researchers and visitors interested in Ford’s ties to Michigan, Congress, and the post-Watergate presidency.

Unlike most presidential library systems, Ford’s library and museum are split between two Michigan cities: the archives are in Ann Arbor, while the museum is in Grand Rapids.

This is primarily a research-library destination. Visitors interested in exhibits should also plan for the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids.
