    Hi, Chris, Thanks for a great tour of Dearborn, Michigan's Greenfield Village, I have been there numerous times, usually for nearly the whole day and thought I had seen every thing, but I don't remember the machine shop near the end of your tour. It seems impossible to see every singly display, no matter how much time you spend there. At around 4:40, I believe the item is called a Stereoptican. Also at around 6:30, those were definitely old boilers, some from locomotives and others from stationary steam engines. Both Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum are attractions worth every minute you can spend at them. Ford also had an airport right next door at which he build the Ford Trimotor airplanes and I believe had the first paved runways in the United States. As you have probably guessed, I have spent must of my life in Michigan and love everything about it except the winter now.I love your second channel of more frequent short videos. God Bless and stay safe and please keep these videos coming.

If you make it back to MI sometime I'd highly recommend the Fort on Mackinac Island and Fayette State Park (U.P.). Both have historic preserved buildings. Fayette is a preserved iron ore town with plant on Lake Michigan. Added bonus camping in the park. Thanks for sharing! ( Messed up my lakes so edited this one!)

    So the museum kind of embelishes things here and there, The Wright Brothers had several shops, no single one was exactly "the" shop, Dayton has yet another shop that is also set up as a museum. The weird part though is the museum is so old that Orville Wright personally set up the shop when it was moved to there, and the opening was attended by Mary Currie, which is wild

Some of stuff is strange like how he has an exact replica of the Rocket built by the same company that built the original, using the same plans or a reconstruction of an edison generating station and all sorts of stuff about the DC power grid without really diving down into any greater context like maybe why the edison system went out of business by the 20s
