Artifact Overview

By 2000, Greenfield Village began showing its age. Buildings and crumbling infrastructure desperately needed repair. Museum planners envisioned a revitalized village with themed "Historic Districts." To welcome guests, they created the Josephine F. Ford Plaza--named for the Detroit philanthropist and only granddaughter of Henry and Clara Ford. In June 2003, visitors passed through this new entrance into a reborn Greenfield Village.
