Liberty Craftworks District, Greenfield Village Restoration Project, May 2003
Add to SetSummary
By 2000, Greenfield Village began showing its age. Buildings and crumbling infrastructure desperately needed repair. Museum planners envisioned a revitalized village. They relocated and refurbished the historic structures into themed "Historic Districts" and added new support buildings--shops, restaurants, and a special-event venue. In June 2003, nine months after restoration began, visitors passed through a new entrance into a reborn Greenfield Village.
