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, 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.
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
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.
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.
I live just outside Cleveland Ohio and we all got to take a field trip here in like 5th grade, maybe 7th. The glass blowing was everyone's favorite!! Thank you for bringing back memories I almost forgot about!! ;)
I love this place and have been there several times. The village and the adjacent Henry Ford museum is (at least) an all day experience. Expensive, but worth it. Around Christmas, there are carolers roaming the village streets dressed in 19th century attire.
Well you did it again! Great job on showing us around..I feel like I am watching the original discovery show! What I like best is you go places I would never get a chance to go. Hopefully you will keep doing these adventures! Thanks again for sharing your experiences!
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!)
Oh man! I love going back in time, what a great place to visit! I was waiting for a ride on a model-T. Maybe in the next video. Wonderful, wonderful video, thank you!
Thank You for the "bring along," I really enjoyed it! I'm a city girl; never realized pigs were so earthy! The trains and baseball are hard to beat, too. I appreciate your time and effort. - Judy
Greenfield Village is a great experience. Henry Ford was a brilliant man and helped preserve and entire way of life. You really need two days to see everything! The Henry Ford is almost a two day explore as well.
I was in Greenfield Village with my parents when I was 5 years old. A blacksmith's shop was making rings from horseshoe nails and giving them to children. I still have mine.
That place is awesome!! Love how you can walk through history and interact with it!! You visit really cool places!!! Love all your videos on both of your channels!!!
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
Lol when you walked into the blacksmith shop I legit thought someone was there making something 🙈 so cool seeing the train and old cars go by and the baseball team in the old uniforms was awesome 😊
Are you going to Mackinac island and film the grand Hotel where Richard Reeves movie Some Where In time" The Island is really fascinating a lot bigger than Greenfield but similar! In the Sue locks you can see the giant freighters, next time your in Mi! Love these trains!
My favorite class trip with my son. We both love history so we made sure to go into every building we could. Some day I will make a trip back when we can spend more time
@Mobile Instinct 2 A few places you should visit (if you haven't already). wright bros museum in North Carolina, lost sea in Sweetwater TN and the short train ride and mining camps in Sterns KY.
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.
Haha I don't think too many people go back there at all so they may not care. I had a long conversation with a guy who worked there and he told me about the manhole cover.
Weird, I'm subscribed to your second channel, and have been for some time, but the videos (from your second channel) never show up in my "feed", so I haven't watched any of them in over a year (I'd simply forgotten about it). Glad you mentioned the channel in your recent "Big Brutus" video.
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
It's a MUST to make a trip to Kill Devil Hills & Kitty Hawk North Carolina. That's where the real history of American aviation began; which of course went viral having an impact in just about every region across the globe.
Dayton is still mad that the Wright properties were looted. The home in Dayton became the Wright childrens' home after leaving Indiana. You can see their home in Indiana in its original location.
I think they have Thomas Edison’s last breath in a jar at the Henry ford museum if I’m not mistaken. What was that horn. Was it the train during the ball game??

Oh boy! Thank you for going to the Turntable and Roundhouse. I love trains.
I was excited to get inside there
2:32 what a dashboard! :D I never saw underneath one before! you rock dude thanks for bringing us along!

Chris if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be seeing these fantastic places thankyou
Welcome to Michigan.😀
Been following you every step of the way and loving it. Great job!
Thanks Katie

I half expected Thomas the Tank Engine to come barreling out of that elaborate depot!! 🙄😊

One of your best videos...and you've produced some amazing ones young sir. Thank you.
Thanks for the tours, Chris. I’ve been around for a long time
Many of the things are familiar to me. Brings back
Some great memories .
Well you did it again! Great job on showing us around..I feel like I am watching the original discovery show! What I like best is you go places I would never get a chance to go. Hopefully you will keep doing these adventures! Thanks again for sharing your experiences!
Thanks Rick. So far I have no plans to stop!
Amazing! Thanks for the tour. Your videos are always very interesting.

I ll put them on my list for when I get there again, Thanks!
keep in mind --- Fayette is at least a 10 hour drive from Greenfield Village.
Oh man! I love going back in time, what a great place to visit! I was waiting for a ride on a model-T. Maybe in the next video. Wonderful, wonderful video, thank you!
Awesome place. didn't know at 6:02 Wilford Brimley moonlighted there, LOL. great video, my friend!
Haha

Very interesting place, it was a very nice tour. Thanks again for a another great video.
I was hoping you would go here. I haven't been here since I was a kid. Do much fun to see again! Thanks a lot!!
Greenfield Village is a great experience. Henry Ford was a brilliant man and helped preserve and entire way of life. You really need two days to see everything! The Henry Ford is almost a two day explore as well.
I agree, I ll have to go back because there wasn't enough time to see everything
This is the best tour yet! I loved the video and all of the old trains and shops. Thank you for the wonderful tour.
Loved it! Haven’t been there in a very long time, gotta get down there!👍🏻👍🏻❤️
I was in Greenfield Village with my parents when I was 5 years old. A blacksmith's shop was making rings from horseshoe nails and giving them to children. I still have mine.
One of my absolute favorite videos! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for coming here and showing the village.
Loved going here when I lived in MI...fabulous at Christmas 🎄
That place is awesome!! Love how you can walk through history and interact with it!! You visit really cool places!!! Love all your videos on both of your channels!!!
Your videos are the best! Such an awesome place and a great look into American History. We need more places like this!
I love history and trains would love to visit this place
What a great tour! Thanks, Chris!
I love the idea of a place like this! I would have no problem with a 2 hour video of this place!
Great video! I love to see all these amazing places you go to!

Been here dozens of times and yet there's still so much I haven't seen! love your vids keep up the great work!
There is also a lot of waterfalls in the UP! YOu can pick up a Waterfall Map at the light house gift shop!
Looks like a beautiful place. I want to visit.
Awesome video. Thanks for showing us around.
Thanks for sharing. Very interesting.
Really coll, and amazing, especilly moving it all!
I use to love going there on school field trips as a kid!
Are you going to Mackinac island and film the grand Hotel where Richard Reeves movie Some Where In time" The Island is really fascinating a lot bigger than Greenfield but similar! In the Sue locks you can see the giant freighters, next time your in Mi! Love these trains!
My favorite class trip with my son. We both love history so we made sure to go into every building we could. Some day I will make a trip back when we can spend more time
I hoping to get back there either for Halloween or during the holidays.
So peaceful, I like it.
Amazing & Beautiful, I'm pretty much speechless but those two words sums it up.

many times I've been there never seen the manhole cover. Very cool info thanks for this great video!
what a great video,thanks for showing us around,so interesting!!
Very cool, love old trains. Have you been to Kitty Hawk NC? You can see one the Wright Brothers planes.
The Wright Brothers childhood home is located in eastern Indiana still.
The horses remind me of that novel: black beauty
Wow I am going to have to get up there. I had no idea about that place. Love the video.
This is awesome. I’d love to visit. So much history.

Wait! What?!!! A second channel? Let the binge watching continue. Haha

I was there a few years ago but Id like to go back and maybe make a video
@@MobileInstinct2 That would be great.
@@MobileInstinct2 You mean you DIDN'T when you were there? For Shame.....lol.
Thank you for your videos. I love all of them.
What an awesome place
Love this exploration!
I wonder how you move a stone building from England to Michigan. Or even a brick building from Dayton to Deerborn.
I love the echo of the train whistle.
Have you ever taking a train across country? If not I highly recommend it. Love your videos.
I've always wondered, why do you not post such quality content on your main channel? Love it!
Often, the kitchens were in the basement. The heat would warm the upper floors.
New liked, subbed and shared, too old for walking adventures, hope my kids and grandkids can see it! 🎈🐵😍
One of the great museums of the world.
Dayton is still mad that the Wright properties were looted. The home in Dayton became the Wright childrens' home after leaving Indiana. You can see their home in Indiana in its original location.
Wow, fascinating this place...
Thanks dude, awesome vid
That was wesome. How about a part 2?
Kinda like Sauders in Ohio. I love these places.
BTW, new sub 😘
what a cool place 👍
Cool vlog thanks hankuh hanks
Love it!
Very cool as always 👍👍
I would love to just walk around there all day long.
So COll❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
where is this place
Please go back would like to see the rest.
wheres the " local establishment" ?
This society needs to get back to a similar way of life like you would see in this town.
Obviously, keeping modern plumbing..
How the frick did they move the house??
Very carefully.
Each of the buildings there were dis-assembled and moved brick by brick, a very labor intensive, but worth while project.
I think they have Thomas Edison’s last breath in a jar at the Henry ford museum if I’m not mistaken. What was that horn. Was it the train during the ball game??
Thomas edison is not a genius. He stole from tesla
You mean the car maker?
Low views on this one, but look at the like per view ratio, wow!
