Airehead ★ Posted September 30, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 30, 2015 If weather cancels our tandem century in MAryland, Mr. Aire wants to take me to Dearborn for the weekend. Is this a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted October 1, 2015 Share #2 Posted October 1, 2015 Depends. Do you like the thought of Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford museum?(Which actually is kind of enjoyable) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post charlie burgh Posted October 1, 2015 Popular Post Share #14 Posted October 1, 2015 I will more than likely be at Greenfield Village this weekend. We go there all the time as Abi loves going through the houses, riding the Model Ts, going on the carousel, and horse drawn buggy rides. This Saturday is Farmers Market. Took a bunch of pictures of Abi there two weekends ago. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeman564™ Posted October 1, 2015 Share #21 Posted October 1, 2015 Not here. Anytime of year is good, but if you plan on walking around the village, fall is nice.
