Tenvoorde Ford

Tenvoorde Ford's 2nd Annual Food Truck Fest is a labor of love for the dealership and truck owners

The Stearns History Museum indicates on this day in history, Stephen "Steve" Tenvoorde signed an agreement making his dealership the second Ford dealership in the country (1903). Today it is the oldest Ford dealership in the world.
