About this adventure
Experience the magic of an authentic 19th-century American holiday season at Greenfield Village at The Henry Ford. Consistently named one of the nation's premier historic holiday events, Holiday Nights transports families back in time across 80 acres of living history illuminated by real kerosene lanterns, flickering candlelight, and glowing bonfires. Families can ride in vintage Model T cars or horse-drawn open wagons, watch skilled blacksmiths and glassblowers at work, sing along with costumed 19th-century carolers and brass quartets, and roast chestnuts over open fire pits. Children can visit Santa and his live reindeer on the Village Green, lace up ice skates on the historic outdoor rink, and marvel at the nightly fireworks finale accompanied by the town crier.
