Attended Thomas the Tank Engine at work today with my cousins. First time with a two year old. Best moment was when she said, “Thomas, I know him.” Made my heart melt.

This Heinz food display from around 1930 features a small selection of its strained baby food--beets, tomatoes, carrots, prunes, spinach, and green beans. #Yum #ArchivesBabies #ArchivesHashtagParty #BensonFordRC @thehenryford thehenryford.org/collections…

It wouldn't be an #ArchivesBabies hashtag party if we didn't invite Dr. Spock to the festivities! The edition dates from 1955. #ArchivesHashtagParty #BensonFordRC @thehenryford thehenryford.org/collections…

Hello, @AmazonHelp. Earlier today I bought a gift card on your website and you have now temporarily blocked my account for suspended activity. There was no reason to; I did indeed buy the gift card. But now I locked out of Amazon account and my FireStick. This is unacceptable. 1/

In 2017, @thehenryford received materials from the Am. Textile History Mus. Among this was about 3000 cubic ft of archival materials, incl this 1889 sample card from Cocheco for its style "Tart." #NationalTextileDay #BensonFordRC thehenryford.org/collections…

Pick any bookcase in your house. Second shelf from the top. Sixth book from the right? What is it? “Ford at Fifty: An American Story” Not became of where I work, but because it was one of my grandpa’s books.
