Josiah had fun looking at the old tractors.
The girls helped push the turntable in front of the train roundhouse. There are two trains they use in the village to give rides. They do actual repair and maintenance to the trains in the roundhouse. It only takes two people to move the largest train when it is on the turntable.
There were so many interesting sights, from Henry Ford's garage and home to the Wright Brother's bicycle shop. However, this courthouse was one of my favorite spots. In this very building, Abraham Lincoln practiced law! It really put history in perspective when the guide said, "You just missed Mr. Lincoln ... he walked out of here 160 years ago."

It looks like you all had a great time. Thanks for the great write up on Greenfield Village. The kids and I had just come across this recently in our studies. We thought it looked liked a great place to visit. Maybe someday.

Chris & Esther,
I was just looking at your write up about Greenfield Village again. We are thinking of possibily going in September. I am wondering how much time you think one should allow to visit. Is it such that we should plan on more than one day or can it be covered in a day? Thank You! Dixie
