Henry Ford's original vision for his museum and "early American village" was to provide hands-on learning opportunities for students. Ford's educational philosophy was "learn to do by doing." In the experimental Edison Institute Schools he founded in 1929, students learned not only from books, but also from objects and hands-on experiences. Many attended classes in Greenfield Village's historic buildings.
