Greenfield Village

We spent the day at the Greenfield Village at the Henry Ford. Henry had the foresight to purchase and move some historical buildings to this 80 acre site. Some notable buildings belonged to Thomas Edison, George Washington Carver, Noah Webster, Luther Burbank and the Wright brothers. We spent about 6 hours at the village and now we're at the trailer and exhausted. Here's some memories from today.

The first thing we did upon arrival was to take a ride in a model T. We toured the park and got lots of information from our driver.

Later in the afternoon we took a ride around the park on this  1890 vintage steam engine. About a three mile loop took a half hour.

This is the bicycle shop and workshop of Orville and Wilbur Wright. It's not a replica but the actual building that Henry Ford moved here.

We finished the day with a ride on a 100 year old carousel. I hadn't done that in a long long time and it was a blast.



So... two days of fun in Dearborn and tomorrow it's down the road to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. We'll be in Canada for three weeks if all goes according to plan. I'll blog as best I can with the campground Wi Fi. So.... Off we go to Canada eh!
