Belleville (near Dearborn), MI 2021

Our whole purpose for camping here is to go to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village.  When we came with Bob and Sharon last year Greenfield Village was closed.  This is Graham's favorite museum and Greenfield Village did not disappoint.

We went to the Henry Ford Museum first, then took a day off, and then went to Greenfield Village.
