Halloween in Greenfield Village, October 2007

01

Artifact Overview

Visitors have celebrated Hallowe'en in Greenfield Village since 1981. The family-friendly program has evolved over the years, and guests continue to return each October, ready to see hundreds of candle-lit pumpkins or their favorite fairytale or storybook characters. Village and museum buildings take on a new (and sometimes spookier) character on the nights of the event.

    Martha-Mary Chapel

    Churches were a center of community life in the 1700s, a place where townspeople came together to attend services and socialize. The Martha-Mary Chapel, with its architecture inspired by New England's colonial-era churches, was built in Greenfield Village in 1929. This chapel was named after Henry Ford's mother, Mary Litogot Ford, and his mother-in-law, Martha Bench Bryant.
