Josephine F. Ford Plaza, Greenfield Village Restoration Project, May 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 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.
