Long Summer - Green Field Village

August 14, 2008

"Where haven't we been for a long time?", I asked Margaret. No idea as what I was thinking. "Why Greenfield Village of course!" With all the road construction in the Detroit area we weren't sure visiting Grenfield Village would be an good choice. But alas the yellowbrick road to GV clear of obstructions.

This was the Thursday before the upcoming Dream Cruise down Woodward Ave in Detroit. A number of the classic cars could be seen throught the GV parking lot.

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood and a great day for walking around GV. We hadn't been through the Village for almost 30 years and it didn't look much different than I remembered it. The tree lined streets, the old Model Ts taking visitors for rides around the Village and the old paddle wheel boat.

As we were entering, two young people dressed in period clothing greeted us on antique bicycles.

What would trip to GV be without visiting

the Wrights Cycle shop and Wrights family home.

You all pretty much know that Henry Ford found all these buildings relating to people of his era who made a mark on society and history, had them disassembled and reassembled in Dearborn, Michigan.

Here are some images as I saw them that day.......
