Approach to the Village Gatehouse during the Greenfield Village Restoration Project, June 2002

01

Artifact Overview

By 2000, Greenfield Village began showing its age. Buildings and crumbling infrastructure desperately needed repair. Museum planners envisioned a revitalized village. They created themed "Historic Districts" by relocating and refurbishing the historic structures. Workers repaved streets and upgraded water, sewer, electric, and gas lines. The restoration took only nine months to complete. This image shows the Village in 2002, as the project began.
