From Our Visitors

“

A M - Downers Grove, IL - August 2025

This is my favorite part of the Henry Ford membership. It is a working museum with old cars, buggies and horse carriages bringing guests around. Volunteers are dressed up and explain the history of the buildings. We loved taking the train ride and hopping on/off. We had lunch at Stand 44 which is fabulous. There is a good variety of delicious food. I enjoyed my grilled chicken and beef bacon sandwich in a gluten free bun. I would LOVE to come back in the Fall because I am sure it will be absolutely beautiful and decorated.

DJ - Toledo, OH - August 2025

This is a beautiful and interesting collection of buildings and representation of their places in history. The interpretative staff is phenomenal in their knowledge base and friendliness. Plan to spend the whole day — or better still get a membership so you can take 2 days to see it all. Get a ride pass so you can be driven around in a Model T — so fun!

Eric - Cuyahoga Falls, OH - August 2024

Kids and I had a great time and walk (and ride) through history. Kids loved riding the steam train and in the model T. My son especially liked catching the 1930 Ford bus to get around 'town'. Lots of living history with static displays and live interaction in the craft area including glass blowing, weaving and printing, not to mention the machine shop and pottery. There was absolutely a moment as I walked down Main Street that I really felt I had been drawn back in time and could easily be in a small town in the 1920s or 30s. Great experience and will go back.

Jenilynne2017 - Willow Springs, MO - July 2023

My family loved this place! The Model T ride was wonderful and well worth the wait time. Every building had signs explaining their purpose and/or history or a costumed interpreter or other staff member to provide information and answer questions. Between the signs and the app, it was clear which buildings had been moved there, were built there using some original material or were built there using new (at the time) materials. ... We had to rush through some of the areas to be able to see everything, so I could have spent one or two more days.

BFtime - Fillmore, CA - October 2023

A must see while visiting Dearborn! If you are a historical or architectural enthusiast or just want to spend a nice day with family and friends, Greenfield Village is a wonderful place to visit! Walking in the park surrounded by fascinating historical buildings and beautiful manicured grounds, it almost feels like you have walked into the past! Greenfield Village allows the visitor to enjoy, not only the buildings and grounds, but to appreciate the contributions of so many heroes from all walks of life who have helped to make the world we live in a better place!
