Postcard, Aerial View of Greenfield Village, 1940
01
Artifact Overview
Auto magnate Henry Ford established the Edison Institute as a teaching institution in 1929. Ford finally relented to persistent demands to open his museum and historical village to the public in 1933. Greenfield Village, shown here in 1940, grew and changed over time, but the central green, flanked by a church and town hall, remained at its heart.
