Greenfield Village

This is a continuation post from The Henry Ford.

After barely making a dent in The Henry Ford museum, we moseyed on over to the Greenfield Village. 

"Entering Greenfield Village is like stepping into an 80-acre time machine."

The Weiser Railroad:

A historic steam locomotive pulls a train on a three mile scenic route through Greenfield Village. 

Riding on the 1913 Herschell-Spillman Carousel

Grabbing some good old American food at the Taste of History restaurant.

Watching a baseball game played by the 1867 rules which includes playing with no gloves!

Inside the Detroit Toledo & Milwaukee Roundhouse.

A look from underneath of a locomotive. 

A cribbage board from Thomas Edison's employee housing.

Riding in a genuine Model T car.

Bree getting to work a printing press.

Watching a pottery maker at work.

Watching from start to finish, the wonderful art of glass blowing.

 

There was so much more there to see and do such as and I quote:

"It takes you back to the sights, sounds and sensations of America’s past. There are 83 authentic, historic structures, from Noah Webster’s home, where he wrote the first American dictionary, to Thomas Edison’s Menlo Park laboratory, to the courthouse where Abraham Lincoln practiced law. The buildings and the things to see are only the beginning. There’s the fun stuff, too. In Greenfield Village, you can ride in a genuine Model T or “pull” glass with world-class artisans; you can watch 1867 baseball or ride a train with a 19th-century steam engine. It’s a place where you can choose your lunch from an 1850s menu or spend a quiet moment pondering the home and workshop where the Wright brothers invented the airplane. Greenfield Village is a celebration of people — people whose unbridled optimism came to define modern-day America."
