Back in the 60's and 70's I always went to Greenfield Village many times a year with my family and as a girl scout, camping out. I have been living in Italy for many years now but I am planning a trip to visit in April 2009 with my family and my children. I want them to breathe the historical air I did as a child, see the BEAUTIFUL Village and dream about it when our trip will be over, just as I have been doing since way back then. Once you see it, Greenfield Village becomes a part of you and your cherished memories.

We go to Greenfield Village 5-6 times a year eventhough we live a few hours away. We always go back and learn something new, and they always have interactive exhibits for children. Along with special days they set up, like Day Out With Thomas. Also they have an old car show and a civil war reanactment once a year. Along with that they have stuff going on during the seasons, like harvesting, or trick-or-treating, or Christmas stuff, and Easter Egg Hunt and more.

we were fortunate to be there on the day of civil war renactment, which was very interesting. the atmosphere and attitude of the people that worked there was excelent. we also visited the henry ford museum and found both the variety and setups of the different displays to be excellent. i would not hesitate to visit again.

A wonderful place to take the kids and experience history as it was. We were fortunate to have lovely weather and used two days to visit this park. Our favorites were the working farm (we walked in during the Sunday afternoon dinner prepared wholey on the athentic wood burning stove and being enjoyed by a family dressed in period clothing), the glass blowing experience (one of only two places in all of North America that actually lets you "blow glass"), and the ride on an authentic model T car! We also enjoyed dining in the Eagle Tavern--an 18th century inn that served food from an 18th century menu that changes with the seasons. The food and atmosphere was wonderful. We definately suggest becoming a member. For our family of 5 it was a huge money saver!

The Greenfield village has been made more attractive and must be seen to believe. Activities all year Muzzle Loader Festival Steam Engines Fall Harvest Halloween Christmas it does not matter they are all good. My favorite Detroit Symphony at 4th of July

I loved seeing the working farm and what the womans role was in the 1800's. The history of these homes are incredible, to see where we started and how we have advanced into today. Can't wait to take my daughter and son and show them how easy they have it these days.

Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum, collectively known as The Henry Ford, are two amazing cultural resources in one. Henry Ford started Greenfield Village by collecting historically significant buildings and moving them to the Detroit suburb of Dearborn. There, the staff brings this history to life. Two of the most well known of these buildings are the Wright Brothers Cycle Shop where the brothers brought the dream of flight to life and one of Thomas Edison's laboratories. Edison's lab contains a tube that allegedly holds the last breath of America's greatest inventor. The Henry Ford Museum, modeled after Independence Hall in Philadelphia, is an astounding collection of historical artifacts, from Stradivarius violins to colonial pottery to locomotives. Of course no museum named for the man who put the world on wheels would be complete without the automobile. The difference between the museum's collection and other automotive displays is that the Henry Ford displays the cars in cultural context, including motor inns, service stations and a fully restored roadside dinner. Historically significant vehicles are prominent in the collection. The Lincoln limousine in which President Kennedy was shot is but one of several Presidential vehicles on display. The newest addition to the collection is the fully restored bus where Rosa Parks refused to surrender her seat to a white person, touching off the Civil Rights movement. Not all is old at the Henry Ford, however. There is a new IMAX theater, and buses depart regularly from the Henry Ford for a tour of the innovative Ford Rouge Complex. The tour starts with a film history of the Ford Rouge Complex. The new Rouge is not, however, a rust belt hulk of a factory. It is a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. The tour highlights include the

A wonderful walk through history. The homes of 19th century people are an eye opener. Seeing Thomas Alvin Edison's home was great.
