Shifting History Web Series

Climb aboard for a 9-episode mockumentary series that follows one millennial's journey with America's most influential car — the Ford Model T.

During 19 production years, more than 15 million Model Ts were built, with retail prices as low as $300. But now, almost a century later, who cares?

Follow the museum’s Assistant Curator, Tom, as he crosses generations to look for the answers no one else is asking for anymore, on an ill-advised trip into the past, from the present in OHTM's first web series — Shifting History: One Millennial's Journey With the Model T!
