Curious how THF Connect determines your location? The app utilizes over 500 Bluetooth beacons positioned throughout the museum. These beacons emit signals detected by your phone when Bluetooth is enabled, allowing precise location tracking for turn-by-turn directions. Please note that The Henry Ford does not track or store guest locations—this feature is solely for convenience.

NOTES:

• Our free guest WiFi signal strength may vary across different areas of the museum. Feel free to reach out if you encounter any connectivity issues.
• Please ensure that Bluetooth is activated for optimal functionality. Prolonged use of GPS running in the background may significantly drain battery life.
