    I love how hands on this place is and not sequestered behind some velvet ropes. Your videos take me places that are no longer accessible to me and very well done without the hype or clickbait. 👍☮️

    I Grew Up in Detroit & Both Greenfield Village Henry Ford Museums Were My Favourite Places to Go as a Kid.. I Especially Liked the Working Blacksmith & The Cobblestone Street they Had Downstairs at Henry Ford Museum. That Place Guided My Life.

    Hi Chris, first time I was there it was 1973. I was a kid. The trees were babies. I’d go back in a heartbeat. Seeing your video brought back fun memories. I think my love of antiques and trains started there. Thanks

    Hi, Chris, Thanks for a great tour of Dearborn, Michigan's Greenfield Village, I have been there numerous times, usually for nearly the whole day and thought I had seen every thing, but I don't remember the machine shop near the end of your tour. It seems impossible to see every singly display, no matter how much time you spend there. At around 4:40, I believe the item is called a Stereoptican. Also at around 6:30, those were definitely old boilers, some from locomotives and others from stationary steam engines. Both Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum are attractions worth every minute you can spend at them. Ford also had an airport right next door at which he build the Ford Trimotor airplanes and I believe had the first paved runways in the United States. As you have probably guessed, I have spent must of my life in Michigan and love everything about it except the winter now.I love your second channel of more frequent short videos. God Bless and stay safe and please keep these videos coming.

    Loved this place and didn't want you to stop filming. I wouldn't have minded it being two hours long. You are a terrific tour guide. Thanks for showing me a place I would never see otherwise. I love history, so this was awesome. "Sheldon Cooper," would love the locomotives.

    I do enjoy your videos and can spend hours going down this rabbit hole. But I have to say, this is your best video to date. Remarkable how these people have caught so many images in time. You presented it very well.
    And as a side note, I subscribed not only for your content but also for your style of video-making and your lack of click baiting. Your videos are a lot of fun to watch.

    This area was my grandparent's home town. I visited Greenfield Village and The Henry Ford Museum many times when I was a kid back in the 60's. It's good to see how well it is still holding up. So much history there. Thanks for the trip back in time.

    Just the break I needed at work! Thanks for capturing many of my favorites at the Henry/Greenfield Village. If you make it back to MI sometime I'd highly recommend the Fort on Mackinac Island and Fayette State Park (U.P.). Both have historic preserved buildings. Fayette is a preserved iron ore town with plant on Lake Michigan. Added bonus camping in the park. Thanks for sharing! ( Messed up my lakes so edited this one!)

    Looks like a really cool place to visit. I'll have to stop in if I find an excuse to be up that way. What surprised, and slightly amused, me was the lack of effort taken to hide or disguise the air conditioning unit by the manhole cover behind the shop.

    • @MobileInstinct2
      @MobileInstinct2  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So the museum kind of embelishes things here and there, The Wright Brothers had several shops, no single one was exactly "the" shop, Dayton has yet another shop that is also set up as a museum. The weird part though is the museum is so old that Orville Wright personally set up the shop when it was moved to there, and the opening was attended by Mary Currie, which is wild

    The Henry Ford and Greenfield are weeeeiiird. its like a theme park without really a theme. Some of stuff is strange like how he has an exact replica of the Rocket built by the same company that built the original, using the same plans or a reconstruction of an edison generating station and all sorts of stuff about the DC power grid without really diving down into any greater context like maybe why the edison system went out of business by the 20s
