His idea was to create a place that would celebrate American innovation, that \u201ccan-do spirit.\u201d He chose Dearborn, Michigan, located just outside of Detroit, to move actual historic buildings to <a href=\"http:\/\/thehenryford.org\" target=\"_blank\">Greenfield Village<\/a>, which opened in 1933.<\/p>\n<p>Today, that 80-acre museum features seven historic districts where you can immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and tastes\u00a0of 300 years of Americana. With more than 83 authentic, historic structures and four living history farms, you can ride through the streets on a horse-driven carriage and find artisans at work in many of the buildings around town, making pottery, blowing glass, spinning silk, and weaving on a loom. Some crafts you can even try for yourself.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33759\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33759\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-33759\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_3613.jpg\" alt=\"Watch pottery being made by a skillful artisan.\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_3613.jpg 640w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_3613-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_3613-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33759\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Watch pottery being made by a skillful artisan.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Greenfield Village is a part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehenryford.org\/visit\/henry-ford-museum\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Henry Ford Museum<\/a> complex, the world\u2019s premiere history destination.

The meal is served by friendly, costumed waitstaff who are eager to share their stories. The daily menu includes corn soup, white potato pie, dressed greens, and chicken croquettes. Try a cherry Sarsaparilla, which\u00a0is essentially the original root beer, and shortcake for dessert. Interestingly, the tables seat eight and in typical 19th-century style, you\u2019ll sit with other diners in a communal setting.
