Artifact Overview

Today, the Henry Ford staff provides visitors with an authentic dining experience at Eagle Tavern--a 19th-century roadside waystation brought to Greenfield Village by Henry Ford in 1927. Cooks prepare bills-of-fare based on historical recipes and wait staff in period-appropriate dress serve the meals. Costumed presenters chat with visitors about daily life in this tavern during the 1850s (the period of interpretation) before visitors dine.
