Paving Liberty Craftworks District, Greenfield Village Restoration Project, April 2003
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 relocated and refurbished the historic structures into themed "Historic Districts" and added new support buildings--shops, restaurants, and a special-event venue. In June 2003, nine months after restoration began, visitors passed through a new entrance into a reborn Greenfield Village.

ArtifactLoranger Gristmill
Gristmills -- usually among the earliest businesses established in a community -- ground grain harvested by local farmers. This mill, originally located in Monroe, Michigan, was set up to grind both corn and wheat. It incorporates a sophisticated conveyor system, developed by Oliver Evans in the late 1700s, that moves grain through the building to undergo a variety of processes.
