Why did Henry Ford visit Monroe County, Michigan? That was the buzz in July 1920 when local residents realized he was in Monroe and got directions to Maybee to look over some railroad property. A few days later, the answer came via a company announcement: Ford had purchased the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad. Those stories and others from July 1920 in The Monroe Evening News are featured in our latest monthly installment of Retro Headlines. Narration and audio production by Paula Wethington for The Monroe News.
