About Greenfield Village

Greenfield Village is the 80-acre outdoor half of The Henry Ford, filled with historic buildings moved here from around the country. You can step into the Wright brothers' home and bicycle shop, Noah Webster's house, the Illinois courthouse where Abraham Lincoln practiced law and a replica of Thomas Edison's Menlo Park laboratory. Artisans demonstrate glassblowing, weaving and pottery at Liberty Craftworks. Model T rides, a steam train, a 1913 carousel and a horse-drawn omnibus carry you between districts.
