The entrance of the Gerald R. Ford Museum, off of Pearl Street near downtown Grand Rapids.

Astronaut sculpture -- a tribute to President Gerald R. Ford -- stands in front of the Gerald R. Ford Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was made by New York City sculptor Judson Nelson. This presidential library-museum complex is one of just eleven that are under the administration of the National Archives and Records administration.

Judson Nelson's sculpture of the astronaut commemorates Gerald R. Ford's consistent support of the space program, both while serving in Congress and in the White House. The piece was dedicated on September 7, 1986.

Ah-Nab-Awen Park and the grounds of the Gerald R. Ford Museum, near downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. In the fore- and middle-ground is the 2005 ice jam on the Grand River that meanders through the middle of the city. "Ah-Nab-Awen" is a Native American word for "resting place." The six-acre park commemorates not only the nearby future resting place of President and Mrs. Ford, but also the site of a Native American village. The name for the park was proposed by the Elders of the Three Fires Council.
