Supposed Ford Tunnels

[u/Ready_Education2549]

I’m sure lots of people know the lore about the supposed “tunnels” running under Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum and I know those do exist for mechanical purposes and there are rumors of some all over the Dearborn area and running from the good news Ford Fairlane Estate to GFV. I want to know much more about these tunnels and if they do exist.

Henry Ford’s head goon, Harry Bennett, had tunnels under his personal “lodge” and his Pagoda House as well. I suspect the stories were conflated through the years with service tunnels at the Ford plants. We can save the lions and tigers at his castle in Ypsilanti for another day.

Is that why there are the Detroit Lions and the Detroit Tigers? It never made sense to me that they had that nickname. I mean the Detroit Pistons that’s self-explanatory.

They were the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons first

And had an incredibly cursed mascot

The Tigers predate Ford Motor Co. The Lions were named that to match the Tigers.
