Restoring Greenfield Village 2003
- 13 Artifacts
Much of Greenfield Village looked quite different in 2002 from what you see today. The village was showing its age -- its crumbling infrastructure desperately needed repair. Yet replacing the underground systems also provided an opportunity to refresh and revise Greenfield Village itself. In September 2002, Greenfield Village closed to the public and restoration began. The transformed village reopened just nine months later.
