Greenfield Village opens Saturday with changes for social distancing

It’s no ordinary village, but the mundane tasks of spring cleaning: sweeping, weeding, painting and sprucing things up for visitors are wrapped up, and Henry Ford’s Greenfield Village is ready to reopen for another season.
Greenfield Village opens its gates to the public on Saturday, and visitors should expect some changes as they stroll the 80-acre complex of historic buildings. Many of the changes have been in place since the Dearborn historical complex reopened to the public last summer, following statewide shutdowns because of the pandemic.
Hours have been reduced at least for spring and visitors will find some buildings closed and limited access to rides. Visitors must wear masks both inside buildings and while strolling the grounds. Masks can be removed while eating or drinking. Social distancing requirements are in place as well.
