Historical landmarks are important to preserve and remember our history. One of the oldest historical houses in America is the Fairbanks House. This historical house museum offers tours of the inside and outside, inviting everyone to learn more about the history of the United States. more 1. Unlike Other Historical Homes The house of the Fairbanks is unlike any other historical house museum. It is claimed to be the oldest home in New England. However, the fact that this home is so old and so well preserved is a testament to the master carpenter who was hired to build it. Much of the original features are extremely well-preserved and unaltered, an unusual occurrence for a house this old. The Fairbanks family also adds to the historical significance of the home. 2. Almost 400 Years Old A few years ago, Jonathan and Grace Fairbanks celebrated their 400th year anniversary. You can even see the wedding certificate in the historical museum. 20 years after they married, they built their home in America. Tree ring dating places the building of the house between 1637 and 1641, making this home almost 400 years old. A master mason and master carpenter were hired by Jonathan Fairbanks to build the home. 3. Never Had Modern Amenities While eight generations of Fairbanks went on to live in the home, the house was never updated to include modern amenities such as heat, electricity, or running water. While updates were added on until the early 1800's such as a workshop, two wings, and several small expansions, no significant changes were made after 1820, leaving this house a historical wonder. 4. It Can Be Visited Virtually With the advanced technology now available to us, you can visit the home of the Fairbanks virtually. The virtual tour is guided by expert historians that tell you all sorts of fantastic history about the home. You will also see up close the historical furniture and items they had in the house. The virtual tour takes between 50 and 60 minutes. 5. Hosts Many Events From the Fairbanks Reunion to the Fall Festival, the house of the Fairbanks is host to many fantastic events. The Fairbanks reunion reunites the many existing family lines for one fun party. The fall festival celebrates history with reenactments, crafts, hand-made goods, and historical actors. 6. Has Six Family Lines that Still Exist When the Fairbanks arrived in America from England, they brought with them six children. These children grew up to have their own families that produced more families. The six family lines traced back to the Fairbanks children still exist to this day. Every year they celebrate this family history with a fun reunion at the historical house. The Fairbanks Home is an incredible historical house museum that is almost 400 years old. With a long history from the famous family to incredible architecture, this home is a testament to the American Story. You can support the museum by donating or buying from the gift shop.

Ford owners have three options to choose from when looking to service or repair their vehicle, a Ford dealership, a smaller independent repair shop, or a chain repair shop. While it can sometimes be tempting to service your car at an independent establishment, here a few reasons why a Ford dealership holds a significant advantage over unofficial repair shops. more 1. Free Repairs Under Warranty This is perhaps the biggest reason car owners will choose to have repairs on their car done at a dealership. New (and sometimes used) cars often come with a warranty. Any repair or maintenance work done by a dealership on your car during the period of coverage of the warranty will not cost you a dime. Third-party garages and repair shops do not honor such warranties. Additionally, to avoid voiding your car's warranty, you need to have it serviced according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Voiding your warranty earlier than expected can cost you a lot of time, energy, and money later on, so it's best to have it worked on by the dealership's certified technicians. 2. Manufacturer Certified Technicians The manufacturer's warranty usually requires that you have your car serviced at the dealership. Part of the reason for this is that the mechanics and technicians in a dealership are trained and certified by Ford to work on your car. The manufacturer regularly retrains them, ensuring that they're conversant with the latest technology. Most of the time, these technicians are not only trained to work on all ford models, but are also certified to work on a specific model. Consequently, they know the ins and outs of the vehicle and can fix esoteric problems in the least amount of time possible. This is an important point given that cars at all price points are increasingly featuring complex, computer-controlled mechanical and electrical systems. 3. Quality Parts Ford dealerships are officially supported by the manufacturer, which means that you're sure of getting original (OEM) parts as needed. You'll often get a better price for these parts at the dealership as compared to third party garages, assuming these garages even maintain the appropriate supply chains for such parts. This means that you cannot save money by getting original parts at an independent or a chain repair shop. Of most concern, however, is that using such parts will violate most car warranties. 4. Guarantees on Any Repairs In addition to honoring any outstanding warranties, any work done on your car by a certified ford dealer will be guaranteed. This means that if for some reason the repair fails, you can have additional repairs done for free. Unlike third-party repair shops, a certified dealer is also authorized to sell extended warranties. Such warranties are manufacturer-backed, and at the right time, you can get one at a discounted price. Taking your car to an official dealer ensures that it gets the best possible service. Additionally, having a comprehensive dealer service history increases your car's resale value. Contact Jack Madden Ford today to schedule your next service session.   Image courtesy of Ford.com

The roads seem to get more crowded and distracting every day. That's why Ford created Ford Co-Pilot360. This collection of driver-assistive safety features is there to help monitor nearly every angle of your vehicle. Learn more about some of the top features of Ford Co-Pilot360 and how they work. Blind-Spot Warning With Cross-Traffic Alert Highways with multiple lanes of traffic can make lane changes tricky. Fortunately, blind-spot warning makes it easier for you to know if you can safely change lanes. This features monitors for vehicles that might be driving in your blind-spot and hard to see. If it detects a vehicle in your blind spot, it will alert you with a warning light in the side mirror. The system also includes rear cross-traffic alert, which can detect traffic behind your vehicle when you're trying to back out of a driveway or parking space. more Pre-Collision Assist With Automatic Emergency Braking Pre-collision assist uses a camera to detect a potential collision with a pedestrian or vehicle in front of you — day or night. If it detects a potential collision, it will sound an alert and flash a warning in the message center. It will also increase the sensitivity of the brake assist system, so you have full responsiveness when you brake. If you don't respond in time and a collision is expected, automatic emergency braking will kick in and automatically apply the brakes. Lane-Keeping System If you're searching for a new Ford that can help you prevent accidental lane drifts, look for a model that includes a lane-keeping system as part of its Ford Co-Pilot360 collection of safety features. The lane-keeping system includes lane-keeping alert and lane-keeping aid. Lane-keeping alert uses steering wheel vibrations to warn you about lane drifts. Lane-keeping aid uses light steering torque to guide you back to your lane. You can set the system to use one or both modes. Reverse Brake Assist Backing up isn't always easy to do, especially if you're in a tight parking space and can't see very well. That's when reverse brake assist can help. During the day and in clear weather, reverse brake assist can provide an alert if it detects pedestrians, bicyclists, vehicles, and stationary objects behind you. Additionally, if you don't react in time after the audible and visual warning, the system can bring your vehicle to a complete stop.
