I love all the history that is inside the Village . Am appreciative of Henry Ford to create both the museum and the village . For this, Mr. Ford, I thank you!!

Michelle L

So much history...Henry Ford's childhood home, the original Ford plant and more. Take the train ride around the grounds. Food is great.

Jesse DuBay

Hobo lunch is great for kids. For adults, the hot beef in a bread bowl with mashed potatoes is unbelievable. Vintage baseball games on Saturdays are fun to watch as well

Dan Fuoco

A meal at Eagle Tavern combines authentic atmosphere with delicious dishes; it's a "must visit" for the proper experience.

Shawn Ann Griffith

Get a custard ice cream , they are the best. Just don't get one with chocolate or other coating on a super hot day, they are super messy due to melting!

Bill Q

Buy the unlimited ride pass for $10. If you ride in one Model T and the train , you'll spend $8 without even checking out the Carousel , Model AA Bus , or Omnibus shuttle.

VisitDetroit

Kids will love historic rides at The Henry Ford, from a vintage Model T to a horse-drawn carriage, to the 1913 Herschell-Spillman Carousel .
