01 / The story of this place
Make time for these
Greenfield Village is The Henry Ford’s outdoor historic destination. Relocated and reconstructed buildings introduce the daily lives of inventors, craftspeople, and communities. Presentations of Thomas Edison’s Menlo Park laboratory and the Wright brothers’ bicycle business are among its signature stops. Walking between buildings, watching demonstrations, and experiencing the season are as much a part of the visit as the objects themselves.
- Edison’s Menlo Park laboratory
- The Wright brothers’ bicycle-shop story
- Historic buildings and trade demonstrations
