19th century holiday scenes

[michsnowfreak]

Went to the last day of Holiday Nights at Greenfield Village at the Henry Ford Estate in Dearborn, MI. Every season they have different events showcasing life in the late 19th century and early 20th century. To participate in any of these events is awesome, but Christmas is my favorite. You literally think you are in the 19th century. There is nothing modern whatsoever except the patrons.

Stayed away from flash so pic quality not that great.

Very nice photos. They truly provide a 19th century feel.
