Highlights
Sir John Bennett Sweet Shop
This Main Street home of classic confections has candies, chocolates, baked goods, beverages and more. Built in 1931 in Greenfield Village and modeled after the original Sir John Bennett jewelry store in London, the building was scaled down from five to two stories so it would not stand higher than the buildings in the Village.
Village Playground
Kids will love playing on this unique all-abilities playground. Designed to resemble a 1930s construction site, the playground includes an interactive steam shovel, a 20-foot long boiler tunnel, and 1931 Model AA truck, to help create a play place for kids of all abilities.
Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
A Taste of History
Seasonal, locally sourced foods inspired by historic recipes are as fresh and delightful now as they were years ago. Here you'll find dishes informed by George Washington Carver's research, Mrs. Fisher's cookbook, pies served at the Sarah Jordan boarding house and more.
