Businesswomen at Detroit Central Market

Air Date
July 15, 2022
In honor of the Detroit Central Market joining Greenfield Village as our first permanent addition to the village since 2000, this program focuses on female hucksters and market gardeners who made an impression. Together with Deb Reid, curator of Agriculture and the Environment at The Henry Ford, we learn about causes of food fights like the Cucumber War of 1861, strategies that bound market families together, conflicts that pulled them apart, and philanthropy that extended their reach.
