Have decided to try to plan a September trip to the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan. The museum and surrounding activities look like a great place to explore but it is hard to tell from the sites about how long it would take to comfortably get through the museum and the Greenfield Village. Can someone share their experience as we are not sure as to how many days to estimate our stay! Thanks.

Figure at least three, four would be better.

We found 2 days to be enough, one for each. Worth the trip!

I'd rate it at two full days. If you prefer less full days, more of them might be appropriate.

I saw about 80% of the museum in 3 hours when I was returning from a business trip. Would have liked to have spent more time and I completely missed the village. I know for sure I'll be returning! I would think 2 days would be about right.

How long to shop around inside the museum? That's kinda subjective. Look at the trains, look at the cars and old fast food joint. Maybe some other old machines. Few hours I guess? If you're going to read every plaque it could take all day.The village? Not my scene no estimate there.

It's been a few years for us, but two days worked fine.
We camped fairly close, but I can't find the name of the campground.

If your a car guy. Go the 3rd weekend in August. You can take in the Woodward dream cruise. Largest single day car event in the world. It's an amazing thing to see. If you love cars, the are a lot of othe places and things to do in the Detroit area. We took about a week, stayed in a central place and saw all the sights, including the Henry ford.
