An actual depiction of me caught daydreaming about being able to travel again... ⠀ ⠀ Well, not technically. This photo was taken last year during the trip @byronwood and I took to Michigan, where we visited @thehenryford museum and Greenfield Village. This photo was taken in Greenfield Village, which is an 80 acre outdoor living history museum where the Henry Ford Foundation secured nearly 100 historical buildings and MOVED THEM from their original location, to be rebuilt and preserved in a village setting, so they can show how Americans have lived and worked since founding this country. It might not sound as cool on paper but I actually LOVED this place. ⠀ ⠀ Some of the buildings include Thomas Edison’s workshop, the Heinz house, the George Washington Carver cabin, the birthplace and home of William Holmes McGuffey, a Cotswold Dovecote and authentic Swiss chalet, and a working farm on property (pictured)—just to name a few. If you’re an American History buff, this place is definitely for you. ⠀ ⠀ Admittedly, this is not something I would have thought I would enjoy. Byron and I were basically killing time in the Detroit area before heading up to visit friends at Walloon Lake in northern Michigan, and our friends who lived there suggested we visit the museum. It was SO fascinating that we ended up going back so we could spend more time to enjoy both the museum and the village on our way back through Detroit. ⠀ ⠀ If “travel” this year has you staying close to home or road-tripping only, and if you find yourself in the Detroit area, do yourself a favor and visit this incredible property. It’s especially fun for the kids, though Byron and I still loved every minute of it. ⠀ ⠀ Like my look?
