Salute to America -- Greenfield Village

[NocteSpiritus]

July 3-6th (Wed thro Sat)

 

Gates open at 6pm, and DSO starts at 830pm

Location is at the Walnut Grove in Greenfield Village

 

Tickets

 

GA: Members -- $27.75    Non-Members -- $32

Youth (5-11): Members -- $20.50       Non-Members -- $24

 

Because I have a membership, when you purchase your tickets (can be done easier there at the ticket counter in the Museum lobby), there will be a discount. I would like to 1. go there after work and spend even just an hour in the village. 2. If that doesn't happen, I do plan on bringing snacks/drinks (non alcoholic as bags are searched) and a chair. 

 

Important to Know

 

1. This is outside, rain or shine. Dress for the weather/comfort. Bring rain gear/warm jacket just in case.

2. Walnut Grove is about a half mile from the main gates of the Village. Wheelchairs can be rented (in advance), or personal can be used. (313-982-6001 is the number to call for reservations)

3. Wagons can be used. I plan on bringing mine so I'm not carrying a cooler, snack bag, chair, and maybe an umbrella. 

4. Photography/Video can be taken.

I plan on going on the 6th (Saturday) because I don't work the next day (if my work schedule stays the same for the next few weeks).

 

Going before the Village/Museum closes at 5pm is iffy since I get off around 3 and even if I took my stuff with me, it'd be close to 4pm by the time I get there. So, I might take the time between getting off work and gates opening to get all the items (cooler, snacks/drinks, jacket, etc) together.

Bumping this to see if there's any sort of interest to go as a group or not.

I am interested but time & money =  :(      The "time" issue is mostly due to my health and all the dang "every day life things" i have to get done before I run out of "awake and alive time" .    Its improving a little but is glacially slow.  :(
