The Henry Ford-Greenfield Village

Well the Henry Henry Ford is pretty impresive. When you arrive you go through these big arched doors with very beautiful chandeliers. 

We started  out with Greenfield Village.

The Fountain is the Josephine Ford fountain. It's at the entrance to Greenfield Village.

The streets are all smooth and great for pushing a wheelchair.

The first place we stopped was the machine shop. They make parts for the model T's here even today! The shops in the village are all working shops.

We watched the men blow glass here. The art glass is sold at the gift shop.

This is the pottery shop. They make tiles and pots and other clay items. They make the clay and the artists were working on tiles when we were here.

You can get a ride on the omnibus or horse drawn carriage. Or......

Catch a ride in an actual Model T Ford. For $4 you get a run around the park. where there are all kinds of houses and businesses with folks preforming programs of the time. There were old time baseball players and this is the Wright brothers talking about their time at Kitty Hawk with their sister, Katherine-who is much more interested in getting the vote for women!

There is a lot to do, there's a train to ride, you can pay a fee to make things, like a brass candle stick, or weave some cloth or grind some meal or saw some wood or ride the carousel. There's Thomas Edison's neighborhood, he and Henry Ford were great collaborators. I LOVED the village.
