Spotlight - The Henry Ford

      For decades, The Henry Ford has been a fun and exciting history attraction for all ages. Home to 80-acres of interactive history, visitors can explore the homes, sounds, and tastes of America’s past.

     From old carriage rides and reenactments of school days, to active farming of the 18th and 19th centuries and the Eagle Tavern, featuring a bill of fare from the 1850s, history comes alive. Don’t forget to catch one of the historic base ball games, played by Greenfield Village’s own, Lah-De-Dahs!
    
Every holiday season, The Henry Ford and Greenfield Village brings you Holiday Nights - a very merry way to celebrate good times with friends and loved ones. Don’t miss the most popular holiday event in the area, complete with candle-lit paths, live entertainment, costumed presenters, horse drawn wagon and Model T rides, delightful holiday shops, Santa and live reindeer, ice skating, a spectacular fireworks display and more.
     And for those rainy days, head over to the Henry Ford Museum where visitors can view Titanic: The Artifact Exhibit. This magnificent exhibit features hundreds of real artifacts recovered from the ocean floor along with room re-creations and personal stories; each highlighting a different chapter in the compelling story of Titanic’s maiden voyage.
     The Henry Ford wouldn’t be complete without an automobile attraction. Hitch a ride on the shuttle to the Rouge Factory Tour where visitors will have a bird’s eye view of a working assembly line!
     History is in the making every day. Grab your family and friends and become part of America’s historical collection!
