Lunch on the Village Green, Greenfield Village, April 28, 1932

01

Artifact Overview

Henry Ford partly modeled his Greenfield Village open-air museum on a romanticized vision of small New England towns, with a village green at the center. Historically, these greens were common areas for grazing livestock. Over time, they became more park-like in their features and design. This 1932 photo captured a group enjoying lunch on Greenfield Village's green.
