It was one of the few places my father would actually take the family. I do remember how he loved the "muzzle-loading festival". I found that event to be overly loud, repetitive, and yes, boring. But running through the grass, tiptoeing uninvited into a house, appealed to the voyeur in me. I do think it was a more interesting place when I was a child. There seemed to be more docents and the houses had more artifacts. I credit Greenfield Village with enticing me to learn weaving and spinning. I’ve always loved the place.

It's just a different pace of things to me...plus there are far more nooks and crannies of stuff than there ever were. The blacksmith is generally fun, and there are frequent events which do, oddly enough, give a nice 19th-century small town feel. It's certainly far better going there now than when I was growing up.
