This is a must do for the holidays. We do not do the dinner, too expensive. The evening is great, do not miss anthony doing the night before Christmas by the schoolhouse. The horse brawn wagon is another not to be missed activity. Just be sure to wander and enjoy yourself.
Would love to live in this Village if it was possible. If you haven't gone you a missing a great trip.
I live in Cincinnati and didn't know why I was going all the way up to Dearborn, Michigan to just see a fake town. Now I know. I wasn't walking through a fake village, I was walking into the actual birthplace of Thomas Edison and his workshop. I saw the place where the airplane was invented. And it wasn't just one block, it was huge! The streets were very lively. There were stands everywhere selling soda and popcorn. Old cars always passing by. The only problem was that horse poop on the road, but that was hardly a problem because there was an old model a truck that would drive up to it, scoop it up, and wash it away with water. Problem solved! Overall, I would give this this trip a 100%.
The way they have kept this place as a old village charm is good to see. Please visit Christmas celebrations if possible.
If you every wondered what is was like to live 100 years ago this is the place to see. It's a living history book of classic america.
Really enjoyed our short visit. It was cold and raining but I really enjoyed what was there. Firestone farm in great.
We have annual membership for Henry Ford Museum and Green Village so we come here couple of times a year. There are seasonal event like Halloween decoration, Thomas the train ride, Fall festival, and many others.Even it's not on special event it's still awesome to visit the various places where the experienced and kind people will show you the history and how things work and people living in the past, great for education.
Village staff do an incredible job at Holiday Nights! We didn't have time to see all of the attractions, but most memorable were the artisans. We really enjoyed the tinsmith and printing press, but could have spent the entire evening watching the glass blowers. We will return in the summer and allow a full day to view all of the attractions. Thank you for making such an engaging experience!
It was a while back that I went here with my American relatives, and it was somewhere that was really worth the entrance fee. Lots to see, do, interact with, and just generally take in the history. There's the Henry Ford museum, train rides, car rides, and lots of other things, and to cap it all, the IMAX cinema.http://www.thehenryford.org/village/index.aspx
This trip to Greenfield was for the night time Christmas season the Monday before Christmas. I had visited it in the summer daytime which was very impressive. However, I was disappointed this trip. Maybe it was just me but I expected more. At first I expected lights but soon realized the theme was about how it was at Christmas before electricity so that made me feel better. It was very crowded and everyone seemed to be in a hurry so this made it less enjoyable. The information was provided in each place was interesting as long as I could see what was being talked about. The people working there were very good at their work. I would have given it a 3 but thought maybe since I am from Texas and it was cold that night plus I was recovering from being sick maybe a 4 would be more fair. I would not say don't go but maybe go during the week and a week before Christmas would have been better. I won't go again at night during Christmas but that is just me. Other times of the year I would go. If you are from the south be extra prepared for the cold.
