Richart Wagon Shop Former Site after Relocation during the Greenfield Village Restoration Project, September 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. In June 2003, nine months after restoration began, visitors passed through a new entrance into a reborn Greenfield Village.

    Detroit Toledo & Milwaukee Roundhouse

    Steam locomotives required constant maintenance from an army of skilled and unskilled workers, and the roundhouse is where that work took place. This roundhouse was built in 1884 in Marshall, Michigan, for the Detroit, Toledo & Milwaukee Railroad. Today it services the locomotives and equipment of Greenfield Village's Weiser Railroad.

    Railroad Turntable, 1901

    Where space was too tight for a loop or wye track, railroads could turn locomotives and railcars around using a turntable. Some turntables also provided access to roundhouse stalls. The Pere Marquette Railway used this one in Saginaw, Michigan, before moving it to Petoskey, Michigan, in 1913. This well-balanced turntable had no motor and was rotated by hand.
