When to go
From April to October, when Greenfield Village is open; the museum operates year-round, and in December there are evening holiday events in the village.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Helpful. The The Henry Ford complex has parking, and the factory tour is taken by bus that departs from the museum; for the rest of the city, a car or rideshare app is useful.
