It's nice to see all the buildings in one place because like you indicated, if it's just a stand alone building, what other reasons will draw you to it unless there were other preserved historic structures nearby. - ShelleyShelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534904024320623895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-30656175979602580172012-05-05T12:26:50.334-04:002012-05-05T12:26:50.334-04:00Fantastic post.

I couldn't agree with you more on either topic—so many of these places are so far out of the way or, worse, in danger of being lost forever; how can anyone be so silly as to say, "Save it in its original location or not at all!" It's rather ridiculous. It is so much better to save these places, even if they must be moved—and Ford did a superb, marvellous job with Greenfield Village. It and Williamsburg (the two open-air museums I'm most familiar with) are national and international historic gems.<br /><br />And yes on the re-enactors, too. I'm tired of the political correctness and even moral libertinism displayed as "historic". Again: silly! <br /><br />Great post. I tweeted it to The Henry Ford, too.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15233479262926672923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-59427669960667287682012-05-01T15:14:22.286-04:002012-05-01T15:14:22.286-04:00Great post Ken.
