Greenfield Village
Greenfield village is so awesome, especially if you have children! It's an outdoor/indoor living history museum, where you travel around in horse drawn carriages or by foot. Greenfield Village is organized into seven historic districts, with real working farms, a glassblowing shop, a pottery shop and more! Here, 300 years of American perseverance serve as a living reminder that anything is possible. Step foot in the lab where Thomas Edison had his lightbulb moment or the workshop where the Wright brothers taught us to reach for the sky. Take a ride in a real Model T, or a walk through four working farms. Rub shoulders with world-class artisans, and explore the place where America’s can-do spirit inspires you to go out and get it done.

The Spirit of Detroit
The Spirit of Detroit is a monument with a large bronze statue that was built in Norway and transported to Detroit in 1958. In its left hand, the large seated figure holds a gilt bronze sphere emanating rays to symbolize God. The people in the figure's right hand are a family group symbolizing all human relationships. A plaque in front of the sculpture bears the following inscription: "The artist expresses the concept that God, through the spirit of man, is manifested in the family, the noblest human relationship."
