See a map of this location  Hazards rust  Interesting Features This a huge manufacturing/assembly complex, sprawled across 155 acres of land and two and a half million square feet of indoor area. It's enormous and takes hours to traverse. The car building machinery was of special interest, and every area was accessible from within (including the roof). Parts storage, painting bays, assembly lines, office space, tire tunnels, engineering workshops, a cafeteria... one of the most interesting sites I've ever visited. But be warned, the security is tight and the site is scheduled for redevelopment, so many of the most intriguing elements have been removed since our last documented visit.  Security Measures fences barbed wire 24 hour guard locked gates cameras The cameras are likely inoperative, but there may be an alarm system.  Historical Dates Built: 1948 Closed: 2006  Required Equipment flashlight gloves  Recommended Equipment Long pants/sleeves.  History Closed since the spring of 2006, this was the Ford Motor Company's Hazelwood Assembly Plant, best known for the production of the Aerostar minivan and more recently the Explorer SUV.
