“A series of exposed quartzite mountain peaks and rock outcroppings rising from the Piedmont-to-Mountain transition zone — sweeping views across the Piedmont plain, multiple waterfalls, and a historic CCC-built lake and bath house. Visually dramatic scale contrast.”

About

Greenfield Village at The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan is one of America's most extraordinary historic filming destinations—an 80-acre outdoor museum housing Thomas Edison's actual Menlo Park laboratory, the Wright Brothers' Dayton bicycle shop, Abraham Lincoln's Illinois courthouse, and dozens of original historic structures relocated from across America. The authentic period buildings span 18th through early 20th-century American architecture and industrial history, providing unmatched visual resources for period drama, biographical documentary, and American history productions. Both interior and exterior filming available across all village zones with The Henry Ford's established film permit program. The site's diversity of authentic original American historic structures on a single production-ready campus makes it the premier Michigan film location for American period storytelling. Filming permits available through The Henry Ford Film & Special Events Office. Formal institutional film use agreements required for commercial production.
