Sunday morning I went to Greenfield Village, an open air historical museum in Dearborn, Michigan.  It’s a wonderful place to take your children to give them a hands-on immersion experience of history.  Historical interpreters (actors dressed in period costume) are everywhere for you to interact with.  Edison’s laboratory, Henry Ford’s childhood home, a farmhouse from the Puritan era are all wonderful things you can discover and enjoy at the Village.

Memorial Day weekend is always Civil War rememberance weekend at Greenfield Village and there are reenactments and Civil War soldiers roaming all through the place!  I managed to get a couple videos with my cell phone, albeit with slightly poor sound quality.  I still feel they are interesting nonetheless.

This video is of the Union soldiers band playing some music under a tree.  I apologize again for the poor sound quality in both videos.

The next video shows to actors discussing a telegram from General Sherman to President Lincoln “delivering” Savannah, Georgia to the North.
