Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village

From Cedar Point we went just around the corner of Lake Erie to a state park near Detroit. We wanted to go to Deerfield, MI see the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, an entire community of businesses, such as a jeweler watch maker, hat maker, silkworm maker, blacksmith etc. circa 1929 that Henry Ford either moved there or duplicated then maintained in original condition. The museum has everything from doll houses to enormous steam powered generators. The rocking chair Abe Lincoln was sitting in when assassinated, the bus Rosa Parks did not move to the back of, and Kennedy's presidential limousine are some examples of things this museum has. It is like the Smithsonian of the Midwest.
We spent so much time in the museum we didn't get to see many of the buildings in the village before they closed at five. But, as luck would have it, they were having their annual car show that day with 500 beautifully restored cars from the 20's to the 70's on the grounds. We watched several pull up to the review stand where two vintage car experts explained how and why each was designed the way it was. Then there was a live band replicating a USO show from 1945, complete with dancers dressed in clothes of the period.
There is also a factory tour and other things to do on the grounds so if you ever come here allow a couple of days and be prepared to walk several miles.
