Greenfield Village

We went to an Old Car Festival, put on at one of the Ford estates,
Greenfield Village.

It was the hundred year anniversary for the Model T

so it was really big with lots of cool cars.

Really I just loved the architecture there,

so we don't have many pictures of the cars.

The village was pieced together by Ford to hold many historical buildings,

and also to be a learning center.

Many of the skills taught there were designed to educate young men

about the fundamentals of auto making.

for instance: welding, mechanical work, upholstery...

Then there were things brought in to round out the education of the visitors;

hat making, carding wool, printing....

I loved the covered Bridge! and people were still driving on it,

in fact a car from the early 1900's came out after i took the picture.

One of the ladies we went with bought one of the hats
made in the hat place on site.
D loved the feather, especially when it blew in the wind.

They also had a train station with the round circle in the middle
so trains to change tracks!

All in all it was a fun day out and about. We didn't make it to High Tea

(the menu was amazing but the price was a bit high
for a cup of tea and some Crumpets,

which are actually midely sweet, dry English muffin type things.)
