Greenfield Village with Grandma

by

In the days leading up to our trip, we had some discussions about Detroit and what made it prosper back in the day, as what had transpired since then. Living in California, domestic brands seem to be outnumbered by foreign brands, with Teslas outnumbering them all. They had zero aided or unaided brand recognition of Ford, so that required a little history lesson on Henry Ford.

While at home, I made it a mission to visit Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum. Overall our visit was steamy, but we picked a particularly delightful (almost cool?) day to enjoy this Michigan institution. We only made it through Greenfield Village on this trip, which means we can look forward to the museum next time. Hopefully the kids got something out of this experience of Detroit and Americana. I don’t think I had been there since I was their age, so it was almost an entirely new experience for me, too. I highly recommend it.
