Have An Old World Christmas At This Charming Historic Village In Michigan

With the holidays right around the corner, you most certainly have plenty of plans to celebrate with family and friends. But while Christmas is a time to celebrate togetherness, it’s also a perfect opportunity to look to the past and appreciate a simpler time. With a visit to the Holiday Nights even at Greenfield Village, you can do just that – right here in the Great Lakes State.

Greenfield Village is a Michigan classic, located within the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. It provides incredible opportunities to learn about the past.

During Christmastime, the village comes alive with a delightful sense of holiday charm that you simply can’t find anywhere else.

Each weekend throughout the month of December, Greenfield Village hosts its annual “Holiday Nights” event.

This beautiful celebration turns Greenfield into something out of a Christmas fairytale — and visitors of all ages will be charmed.

Marvel at lanterns and Christmas lights that adorn architecturally historical buildings and homes.

Watch as carolers peruse the village in period-appropriate costumes and spread cheer with a repertoire of beloved Christmas tunes.

Take a ride in a classic Model T or in a beautiful horse-drawn carriage.

Check out the old-fashioned ice skating rink…

… or munch on freshly roasted holiday delights.

No matter how many times you attend this event, you’ll be filled with the warmth of Christmastime and overwhelmed by a sense of holiday joy.

Rumor has it that Santa Claus and his reindeer will even be in attendance.

At the end of your trip back in time, stop to watch a stunning fireworks display over the village. It’s a fitting finale for a night of old-world charm.

Whether you’re a history buff, a Christmas enthusiast, or simply a curious traveler looking for an evening of holiday cheer, Greenfield Village has you covered.
