Greenfield Village is the first outdoor museum of its type in the United States, an outdoor living history museum section of the Henry Ford complex in Dearborn, Michigan. Dedicated in 1929 and opened to the public in 1933, it features nearly 100 historical buildings that were moved to the property from their original locations and arranged in a village setting with the intent of showing how Americans have lived and worked since the founding of our country. It includes buildings from the 17th century to the present, many staffed by costumed interpreters who conduct period tasks like farming, sewing and cooking. There also are craft building such as pottery, glass-blowing and tin shops that provide demonstrations while producing materials used in the village and for sale. The museum covers 240 acres but only 90 are used for the village while the rest is forest, river and pasture for sheep and horses. Visitors an ride through the village in authentic Ford Model Ts, a 1931 Ford Model AA bus, horse-drawn omnibuses and a trail pulled by a steam locomotive. Among the attractions are Noah Webster's Connecticut house, the Wright Brothers' bicycle shop and house, a replica of Thomas Edison's Merlo Park laboratory in New Jersey, Henry Ford's birthplace that is furnished as it was in his mother's time, Ford's garage where he built the Ford Quadricycle, Harvey Firestone's family farm from Columbiana, Ohio, and the the Logan County, Illinois, courthouse where Abraham Lincoln practiced law.

Saw Aladdin with my grandchildren. The restrooms were clean and the staff were friendly . The concession stand is the original one and it was fun to see and brought back such memories. This drive in is a summer must for families. I will so be back.
