The Ford Piquette Avenue Plant was the first Ford factory and is now on its way to become a World Heritage Site. It was built in 1904 and proudly brought personal transportation to the world through the Model T car that was produced here. Check out the video of the original elevator that was used to move parts and products to other parts of this 3 level building. It was opened and closed by hand!

While in Detroit, we started a deep dive into Henry Ford's life and the car industry! The Rouge plant gave us a peek into the production of the Ford 150 Trucks as the parts moved through the assembly line.
We also visited the Henry Ford Museum which houses so many years of innovation that was dedicated to the automotive industry, but also held multiple collections of items such as planes, presidential cars, furniture, farm equipment, the bus that Rosa Parks sat in, and even the Oscar Meyer Weiner car!

It was an early start from several west coast airports yesterday morning. Our group of 52 people arrived safely into Cincinnati last evening! We settled into our hotel after dinner and began our attempt to adjust to EST! This morning we went to the Ark Encounter which is a representation of Noah's Ark based on the Genesis flood narrative contained in the Bible. It is actually 510 feet (155.4 m) long, 85 feet (25.9 m) wide, and 51 feet (15.5 m) high. Seeing the size of this vessel was astounding! It is the largest wooden timber frame structure in the world and is an engineering masterpiece!

This morning we spent time at the The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. Our guided tour allowed us to explore the world's most extensive collection of American rodeo photographs, barbed wire, saddlery, and early rodeo trophies. Additionally, we gained fascinating insights into Native American culture, their lands, and lifestyles.

After the tour, some of us took a leisurely stroll through the beautiful museum grounds before boarding the bus back to our hotel.

After a short break, we boarded back on the bus and made our way to the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum. This monument is a powerful symbol of strength after unspeakable violence, commemorating the Oklahoma City bombing.
Walking through the outdoor memorial, we saw rows of empty chairs, each representing a life lost that tragic day.

We discovered a beautiful little chapel nestled in the woods just outside of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The Thorncrown Chapel was creatively crafted with an abundance of windows to enjoy the woods that surrounded it. We sang a few hymns with added to this wonderful experience. Special thanks to Cheryl for generously sharing her piano talents and to Bob for skillfully guiding our group.

Make sure you watch our special video! 🎹🎶

Our next stop was Eureka Springs where we stopped for a little break from our bus trip to Oklahoma. Eureka Springs' charming downtown, with its historic architecture infused with an artistic atmosphere, made for a delightful stop.

Next, we journeyed to Oklahoma City, where we savored a delicious dinner at Abuelo's Mexican restaurant – a taste of Mexico right there in the heart of the city. Ole! Following our meal, we strolled just around the corner to reach our cozy home for the next two nights.

A little fun video about our day in Dogwood Canyon Nature Park. Covering 10,000 acres in the Ozark Mountains, this park offers streams, cascading waterfalls, and unique hand-built bridges. We took a guided tram tour which was a unique way to experience all that the park has to offer.

This morning, we had the pleasure of visiting Woodland Hills Family Church. Located in a unique castle-like building, the exterior of the church was quite remarkable.
Many years ago, this building used to be set within an amusement park, which added to its charm and history.

After our time at the church, we made our way to Silver Dollar City Park, which was adorned with an abundance of pumpkins and fall decorations throughout the grounds.

Our day didn't end there; we wrapped it up with a visit to Cracker Barrel. It's always a favorite among Tulip Tours guests, as many of them don't have this popular establishment in their hometowns.
