Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of Henry Ford's Greenfield Village. In 1916 Henry Ford proclaimed that "history is more or less bunk"-at least its focus on politicians and military heroes was bunk. Thirteen years later, he sought to correct this error by opening the Greenfield Village museum, which celebrated the history of farmers and inventors. The village eventually included a replica of Thomas Edison's Menlo Park, New Jersey, laboratory, the Wright brothers' cycle shop and home from Dayton, Ohio, and Ford's own Michigan birthplace. Artisan shops, a Cotswold cottage from England, and two brick slave cabins reflected Ford's idiosyncratic worldview.
