Greenfield Village


Today is Saturday, October 17. Craig, Emily, Olivia and I visited Greenfield Village at the Henry Ford Museum complex. We loved this place! It's like Disney Land for Senior Citizens, but it is also a nice place for families. It is a historic village with a working farm and many people working in the village and homes that help you feel you are going back in time. There was a part of Thomas Edison's laboratory, many homes from famous Americans, craftsworks, and homes from many localities. We really needed three days to see it all. We rode a train, took a drive in a model T, a horse drawn stage, and an old fashioned bus. We loved riding the carousel with Olivia because she was delighted with it. Our favorite home we saw was the Cotswold Cottage. It was darling. I always wanted to see the Cotwolds in England. Today I got to sample that. It was pretty cold outside but we could go into buildings to look around and get warm. We had some good warm food at the "Taste of History " restaurant. We have seen other historical villages like this, but nothing to compare with the size of this village. It was a really fun day!
