The exhibit “Gerald Ford in Mao’s China” in the Gerald R. Ford Library and Museum on North Campus features photos, artifacts and documents, some newly declassified, from five dramatic years in U.S.-China relations. Congressional leader Ford visited China in 1972 at the behest of President Nixon. He returned in 1975 as president, just months before Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong died and China entered an unpredictable transition. The museum is open 8:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday and closed federal holidays. Photo courtesy Gerald R. Ford Library and Museum.
