Greenfield Village is a really cool place. It's the sort of place a family can go and everyone will be entertained, from the kids to the parents and grandparents. The Village consists of a multitude of homes from America's history and these are the actual homes. For instance, they have the original Heinz factory, the boarding house that Thomas Edison lived in and first wired for electricity, Edison's lab, the Wright brother's bike shop, etc. There are also homes that depict specific periods of time in America.
In addition to homes, there is also a working blacksmith's shop, bakery and print shop. There is a train the travels through the village as well as a steam boat that you can ride, a carousel and an arcade. Each building is staffed with trained and knowledgeable staff that will tell you about the building, it's history, the way things were done at the time, etc. and they are available to answer question. You'll see people practicing their trades in the print making shop, the bakery and other buildings.
There are several restaurants within the village to get food and snacks, or you can pack a picnic lunch. The grounds are kept very clean and everything is done incredibly well. This is really a great place to learn about America's history and have a lot of fun.
