One of my birthday presents was a membership to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. Today we decided to activate the membership and check out Greenfield Village. Neither of us had been since we were kids, so it was fun to go and see what was new since the last time we were there.
We really enjoyed ourselves and got to see all the sights despite a little bit of rain in the afternoon. In the afternoon we saw a bit of a baseball game from the 1800s. They don't use mitts, so it was pretty interesting to see how they caught fly balls and changed the rules a bit.
Brian got pretty geeked out with all the engines and generators in the Edison exhibits and I got pretty geeked out with Noah Webster's house and the books in his display. It was nice that there was something for each of us there. We also saw lots of sheep who didn't want to come out from under the tree even though it had stopped raining. :)
We plan to check out the rest of the museums that we can get into for free or discounted prices with our membership. We'll keep you updated on how the rest of them are.
