It's the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan.
It's a fantastic place to visit.
I grew up in the area and many of us took our dates there during and
even after our high school days.
The museum warrants a couple of days to give it it's due, the village
another day by itself.

area, but I have not heard of it)
