In honor of Greenfield Village opening for the season, I’ve started planning my next visit and thinking about how I can switch things up a little this year. That’s the beauty of Greenfield Village: there are so many things to do and see that no trip is ever the same! This time around, I’ve chosen five activities that I’ve either just discovered or have wanted to take part in for a long time. Check them out below and consider adding a few (or all) to your upcoming Greenfield Village itinerary!

1. Make Your Own Glassware Or Brassware

Getting a firsthand look at historical demonstrations is one of the best things about visiting Greenfield Village. Glassblowing and machine work are just a couple of the trades represented at the Liberty Craftworks Historic District, but did you know you can also join in on the fun? Yep—for just $5, you can operate a 1917 lathe to make your very own brass candlestick, while half an hour and $40 will provide an interactive workshop for you to create a glass flower (cost covers instruction, production, and shipping). You’ll work with experts, get hands-on experience, and have a one-of-a-kind souvenir to take home!
