But mass closures of car factories, rising unemployment and crime caused residents to flee and tax revenues to decline. In July 2013, Detroit filed for bankruptcy with at least $118 billion in debt and only about half a million residents left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, the city has taken revenge. Private industry, private donations and local initiatives have come together, investing and reinvesting in buildings, urban environments and entrepreneurship. Last year, Detroit made Time Magazine's list of the world's 50 most extraordinary destinations to explore.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-471820930\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-211281967 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-1067134198\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-top-banner-588x158px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-toppbanner-588x158px.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-1206148625\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider211281967 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-211281967\" );$freedslider211281967.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider211281967.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider211281967.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider211281967.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider211281967.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being a culture nerd myself, my goal in visiting Detroit is mainly history, music, art and a curiosity about how the city has managed to rise from its misery.

Currently, plans are underway for a massive $55 million investment to provide an even greater interactive music experience.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-stora-banner freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-2847735602\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-2727150040\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/firstcamp.se\/bra-att-veta\/incheckning-efter-stangning?utm_source=display&#038;utm_medium=Freedom-Travel&#038;utm_campaign=Freedom-Travel-sommar-2026\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-224x107.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-433x206.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"280\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/batch_2_2023-06-07-09.58.41.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/batch_2_2023-06-07-09.58.41-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"Motown Museum i Detroit\" class=\"wp-image-207526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/batch_2_2023-06-07-09.58.41-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/batch_2_2023-06-07-09.58.41-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/batch_2_2023-06-07-09.58.41-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/batch_2_2023-06-07-09.58.41-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/batch_2_2023-06-07-09.58.41-433x200.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/batch_2_2023-06-07-09.58.41-600x277.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/batch_2_2023-06-07-09.58.41.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Motown Records bought up house after house on the same street and became known as 'Hitsville USA'.

It includes the 'Elizabeth' car, a bright red 1909 Ford Model T Touring and one of the world's first electric cars from 1918.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum is part of Museums for All, a national programme of over 1000 museums that provides free admission to lower-income individuals and families in the United States to encourage museum visits and build lifelong museum habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2023-06-07-14.11.32.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"808\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2023-06-07-14.11.32-1024x808.jpg\" alt=\"Ford Motor\" class=\"wp-image-207534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2023-06-07-14.11.32-1024x808.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2023-06-07-14.11.32-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2023-06-07-14.11.32-768x606.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2023-06-07-14.11.32-15x12.jpg 15w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2023-06-07-14.11.32-412x325.jpg 412w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2023-06-07-14.11.32-600x473.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/8_2023-06-07-14.11.32.jpg 1189w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ford Motor Company's original logo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/9_2023-06-07-14.40.21-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/9_2023-06-07-14.40.21-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/9_2023-06-07-14.40.21-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/9_2023-06-07-14.40.21-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/9_2023-06-07-14.40.21-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/9_2023-06-07-14.40.21-1536x710.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/9_2023-06-07-14.40.21-2048x946.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/9_2023-06-07-14.40.21-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/9_2023-06-07-14.40.21-433x200.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/9_2023-06-07-14.40.21-1200x554.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/9_2023-06-07-14.40.21-600x277.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the collection's treasures: the \"Elizabeth\" car, a shiny red 1909 Ford Model T Touring.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Downtown_spirar_ater\"><\/span>Downtown revives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the automotive industry suffered closures in the 1970s, many people moved out of the city, leaving vast amounts of office buildings abandoned and empty in downtown Detroit. The inner city was like a ghost town with gaping windows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the tall skyscrapers from Detroit's early 20th century heyday were, until recently, covered with steel mesh to prevent bricks and other building materials from falling and injuring passers-by on the street. Many empty houses were also demolished. The unemployed started to grow useful plants on the abandoned plots to support themselves. Today, some of the city-grown produce is sold at Eastern Market, 1.5 km from the city centre in the neighbourhood sometimes known as Little Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, several of the city's successful entrepreneurs and developers have invested in the renovation of many of the architectural masterpieces from the early 20th century, turning them into either residential, hotel or office space, and Downtown is once again becoming a centre of activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the historic 19-storey David Whitney Building, one of the most distinctive skyscrapers in downtown Detroit, has been restored to its original 1915 grandeur. It now houses 136 hotel rooms and 105 condominiums. The giant marble, terracotta and gold leaf lobby was once one of the busiest shopping malls in the Midwest and a prime address for Detroit's top doctors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/11_2023-06-07-15.17.51-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"508\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/11_2023-06-07-15.17.51-508x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/11_2023-06-07-15.17.51-508x1024.jpg 508w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/11_2023-06-07-15.17.51-149x300.jpg 149w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/11_2023-06-07-15.17.51-768x1547.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/11_2023-06-07-15.17.51-762x1536.jpg 762w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/11_2023-06-07-15.17.51-1017x2048.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/11_2023-06-07-15.17.51-6x12.jpg 6w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/11_2023-06-07-15.17.51-161x325.jpg 161w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/11_2023-06-07-15.17.51-1200x2418.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/11_2023-06-07-15.17.51-600x1209.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/11_2023-06-07-15.17.51-scaled.jpg 1271w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stadsguidning_i_Detroit\"><\/span>City tour in Detroit <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our guide Chris from The City Institute takes us on a walk through Downtown Detroit.

It has been recognised as #1 Boardwalk in America by USA Today readers for several years in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The area is currently about 5 kilometres long but will eventually stretch 8 kilometres between the Ambassador Bridge connecting Detroit to the Canadian city of Windsor across the river, to the MacArthur Bridge leading to Belle Isle, a large island park with a zoo, aquarium, conservatory, a museum and plenty of space to hike, barbecue and just be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just off the RiverWalk is the Renaissance Centre, a group of seven skyscrapers originally built by the Ford Motor Company but now owned by General Motors, which is also headquartered there. The skyscrapers are an important part of the Detroit skyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/18_2023-06-07-18.36.49-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/18_2023-06-07-18.36.49-1024x495.jpg\" alt=\"River Walk i Detroit\" class=\"wp-image-207554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/18_2023-06-07-18.36.49-1024x495.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/18_2023-06-07-18.36.49-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/18_2023-06-07-18.36.49-768x371.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/18_2023-06-07-18.36.49-1536x742.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/18_2023-06-07-18.36.49-2048x989.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/18_2023-06-07-18.36.49-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/18_2023-06-07-18.36.49-433x209.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/18_2023-06-07-18.36.49-1200x580.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/18_2023-06-07-18.36.49-600x290.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A slightly more boring part of the River Walk, just below the Rennaissance Centre.

Highlands is an upscale restaurant that specialises in high-quality grilled meats, but has many other dishes on the menu and a wide selection of wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We start with a platter of locally caught oysters with horseradish granita, tabasco and aged tequila on the side. The oysters are small but very tasty. The granita was lovely, but I prefer lemon to tabasco and tequila which I think takes away from the flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I choose to combine a three-course menu with steak tartare, smoked egg yolk, marrow toast and pickled shallots as the first course. The second course will be duck with kale, mushrooms, black garlic and chestnut. For the third course I chose scallops with mushrooms, braised oxtail, sweet onion and sauteed broccoli. The tartare was fantastic, the duck very good and the scallops just fine. Together with the recommended wine package, the whole menu is about 1800 SEK per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

We are welcomed by Angela who has been hosting us since 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Henry Ford may be best known in Sweden for the T-Ford, the first mass-produced car that made it possible for ordinary people to afford a car, revolutionising the American way of life. Henry Ford invested a large part of his fortune and built a cultural and historical monument to American innovation in his birthplace with around 1.7 million visitors annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Henry Ford Museum is a world-class visitor destination that has everything you need for a full-day experience: there is the Ford Rouge factory itself with its Factory Tour where you can see several films about the development of Ford cars, many of the old car models and even go inside the factory to see the production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also an exhibition on the environmental work at the factory site. 30 years ago there were no birds, insects or fish in the waterways because of the factory's pollution. Since then, there has been a concerted effort to address this in various ways, and it has been very successful. The best known is the system for managing stormwater using a large sedum roof. Among other things, the plants help double the life of the roof, provide insulation, absorb carbon dioxide and create biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/24_2023-06-08-12.31.19-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/24_2023-06-08-12.31.19-1024x475.jpg\" alt=\"Ford Rouge Plant\" class=\"wp-image-207564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/24_2023-06-08-12.31.19-1024x475.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/24_2023-06-08-12.31.19-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/24_2023-06-08-12.31.19-768x356.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/24_2023-06-08-12.31.19-1536x712.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/24_2023-06-08-12.31.19-2048x950.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/24_2023-06-08-12.31.19-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/24_2023-06-08-12.31.19-433x201.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/24_2023-06-08-12.31.19-1200x556.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/24_2023-06-08-12.31.19-600x278.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Ford Rouge Plant features an exhibition of classic Ford models and several cinemas telling the story of motoring.

Ten minutes from the car factory, Greenfield Village is where Henry Ford was born. It's like an American Skansen, but almost three times the size. A gigantic open-air museum for the whole family with buildings from the early 20th century, farms that produce the food for the restaurants in the area and a large souvenir shop that sells products made by the craftsmen in the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the houses are historic buildings that have been refurbished, some are original. You can visit Thomas Edison's laboratory where he invented the light bulb, the Wright brothers' bicycle workshop where they developed aeroplanes and Henry Ford's own birthplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The village streets are lined with T-Fords and other vehicles from the early 20th century, both motorised and horse-driven. The people who work in the village all wear historic clothing and many work as volunteers. What they all have in common is a great deal of pride in carrying on the legacy of Henry Ford through their stories of ingenuity and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/25_2023-06-08-12.55.31-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/25_2023-06-08-12.55.31-1024x493.jpg\" alt=\" Greenfield Village\" class=\"wp-image-207566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/25_2023-06-08-12.55.31-1024x493.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/25_2023-06-08-12.55.31-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/25_2023-06-08-12.55.31-768x370.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/25_2023-06-08-12.55.31-1536x739.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/25_2023-06-08-12.55.31-2048x986.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/25_2023-06-08-12.55.31-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/25_2023-06-08-12.55.31-433x208.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/25_2023-06-08-12.55.31-1200x578.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/25_2023-06-08-12.55.31-600x289.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In the enormous Greenfield Village, you can experience what it was like in a 19th century American village, ride a carousel, horse-drawn carriage or one of the earliest T-Fords.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/26_2023-06-08-14.47.16-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/26_2023-06-08-14.47.16-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/26_2023-06-08-14.47.16-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/26_2023-06-08-14.47.16-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/26_2023-06-08-14.47.16-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/26_2023-06-08-14.47.16-1536x710.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/26_2023-06-08-14.47.16-2048x946.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/26_2023-06-08-14.47.16-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/26_2023-06-08-14.47.16-433x200.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/26_2023-06-08-14.47.16-1200x554.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/26_2023-06-08-14.47.16-600x277.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Thomas Alva Edison's laboratory where, among his more than a thousand inventions, he invented the phonograph, a precursor to the gramophone, and developed the light bulb.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lunch_fran_1800-talet\"><\/span>19th century lunch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right at the entrance is the Eagle Tavern, a mid-19th-century inn run by the Woods family who served their guests dishes made with locally grown produce, which is still done today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decor, crockery and waiters' clothes are contemporary, as is the menu.
