My family and I flew into Willow Run. If you're on a history trip, I can
think of no better airport to fly into. With such strong connections to Ford and Lindbergh, it's amazing to see the airport and buildings where over 43,000 people built over 8700 B-24's. Check out this link for more Willow Run history: http://www.michiganhistorymagazine.c...illow_run.html We called ahead and they had a rental car waiting for us. We stayed in one of the many hotels on the north side of DTW, which is between Willow Run and the Ford Museum. It's an easy drive from the hotel complex east to the Museum or west back to Willow Run. We spent a day and 1/2 at the Museum and Greenfield Village. With the weather getting colder, if you have limited time, do the Museum as the activities at Greenfield Village may be limited. If you have the time, visit both the museum and the village. The Museum is just that, a Museum of America's and the World's technological and industrial achievements with some outstanding collections of all modes of transportation. The Village is a collection of historical buildings set in realistic settings with employees in full costume acting out daily life during the early 1900's. As we had the time and wanted to visit both exhibits, the best deal on tickets was to purchase the membership package which allows us to re-visit at no charge within a year of our original visit. Food onsite is extremely expensive. Eat offsite before and afterwards and save your cash for a beer in the beer hall as you leave Greenfield Village. More at www.thehenryford.com Jim |
